The Cover image from Kensuke Naka and colleagues on page 1456 shows side‐opened cage silsesquioxane monomers, polymer, and resulting transparent film. Cyclopolymerization efficiently proceeds to give linear polymers thanks to the directionally fixed two methacryloyl groups on the monomer. The low crystallinity of open‐cage silsesquioxane units enable high transparency and thermal stability at once. This is the first example of homopolymers tethering open‐cage silsesquioxane pendants.
