Abstract

Abstract : Back Cover : The self‐healing behavior of mussel byssal threads is believed to depend on aspartate moieties incorporated into the protein structure. The improvement of the self‐healing capacity of synthetic supramolecular networks using aspartate in the presence of histidine–zinc interactions is demonstrated by Martin D. Hager, Ulrich S. Schubert, and co‐workers in article number1700742 . The addition of aspartate into mussel‐inspired self‐healing materials leads to better self‐healing ability with approximately constant mechanical properties.
