Fusion of two cross‐linked polymers (CLPs) via a dynamic linker, bis(2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐yl)disulfide (BiTEMPS), at the interface is demonstrated. In their Communication on page 4294, H. Otsuka et al. demonstrate how the fusion was carried out by simply mixing and hot‐pressing powdered CLPs that contain BiTEMPS units. The appearance, swelling behavior, and mechanical properties of the fused samples were investigated.
