Frontispiece 2 : In article number 2000657 by Ericka Ford and co‐workers, novel cyclic‐poly(phthalaldehyde) blended poly(ε‐caprolactone) fibers are wet spun to exhibit fast transience of less than 50 s when exposed to daylight and the mechanical strength and stretch ability of an elastomer. The transience rate is further improved by embedding gold nanoparticles in the fibers. Daylight‐triggered transience among flexible fibers has potential use in wearable electronics, intelligent textiles, and zero waste packaging.
