Abstract
Inside Cover: In article number 2100360 by Xin Zhang, Alfred Iing Yoong Tok, and co-workers, the impact protection of polyborosiloxanes (PBS) can be tailored based on the molecular weight of a precursor since it defines the supramolecular mesh density. The low molecular weight of a precursor, hence, a high borono stickers density is a primary requirement for effective protection against low-velocity impact.
