On page 1357 10.1002/pola.27983 Jian Xu, Ning Zhao and co‐workers report a facile method to fabricate polybutadiene elastomers crosslinked by dynamic ionic hydrogen bonds. Compared with conventional chemical crosslinking, the prepared polybutadiene elastomers show excellent toughness, superior stretchability, good self‐recovery and enhanced damping capacity. More importantly, the crosslinked elastomers can be thermally reprocessed and recycled due to the thermal reversibility of ionic hydrogen bonds.
