In article number 1603155 by Xinghua Zhang, Bing Miao, Li‐Tang Yan, and co‐workers, semiflexible dynamic polymers are demonstrated to possess optimal reactivity and self‐healing ability in comparison to coil‐ and rod‐like ones. A fundamental insight into the principle for the dependence of self‐healing capabilities on properties inherent to dynamic polymers is provided.
