Front Cover : In article number 1800896 , John W. C. Dunlop, Jiayin Yuan, and co‐workers give an overview of how polymeric materials can be actuated through the absorption of organic molecules. Through the introduction of relatively simple design elements, such as controlling crystallinity or by introducing low‐dimensional reinforcement, polymeric actuators can be programed to display complex macroscopic motions, with potential applications in sensing and smart systems.
