Front Cover : Photomechanical polymeric materials could be the future for building light‐driven soft robotic actuators. In article number 1800815 , Robert F. Shepherd and co‐workers propose a simple synthesis and processing route for the fabrication of a self‐healing photomechanical elastomer. This material enables the construction of complex 3D shapes using a simple ‘cut and paste’ assembly.
