Front Cover : In article 1800227 by Metin H. Acar and co‐workers, polysulfone (PSf)‐based shape memory polymers (SMPs) are synthesized using a PSf backbone as the hard segment and poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) side chains as the soft segment. Obtained SMPs exhibited T trans around the body temperature and different tensile properties, tailored by changes that have been made in content, composition, and topology of graft copolymers. This study is the first example of PSf‐based smart macromolecules.
