Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201470081-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>On page 1906, J. Yang and co‐workers introduce click chemistry as a dual role in the design of citrate‐based biodegradable elastomers (CABEs) to greatly improve materials' mechanical strength and confer readily bioclickable surfaces. The cover image illustrates that thermal click reaction participates in CABE crosslinking and present extra azide groups for easy biomolecule conjugation through strain‐promoted azide‐alkyne cycloaddition. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4xfgjmrf" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
