By effectively regulating noncovalent interactions and thus the structure of polymer networks through the solvent exchange strategy, in article number 2004579, Yan Qiao, Dong Qiu, and co‐workers develop a class of stiff and antiswelling hydrogels (named as exogels). The spatial and temporal progression of the exogels via solvent exchange also make them applicable for robust underwater adhesion.
