Front Cover: Physically crosslinked polymer networks of mechanically robust thin films and soft hydrogels are prepared from self‐assembly of linear triblock copolymers with photolabile monomers upon hydration. Light‐induced uncaging of photolabile groups promotes phase inversion of physically crosslinked domains followed by subsequent disintegration of the surrounding polymeric networks. Further details can be found in the article by C. Zhu and C. J. Bettinger* on page 1446.
