Abstract

Abstract : Front Cover : In article number 2100333 by Justin M. Chalker and co‐workers, sustainable polysulfide polymer bricks are made from low cost sulfur, canola oil, and dicyclopentadiene. These bricks can be fused together by application of an amine catalyst. The catalyst is not retained in the polymer, so it is traceless. The polymer block is a novel structural material for the built environment and the reactive surface serves as its own mortar.
