Strain‐induced liquid crystallinity dramatically improves the toughness of elastomeric polymer networks. In their Communication on page 13744 ff., T. J. White et al. describe the mechanotropic phase transition of thiol‐ene photopolymers from a disorganized, isotropic state, to an organized, liquid crystalline state. Under stress, the liquid crystals reorient with the applied stress tensors resulting in significant strain hardening while maintaining rapid elastic recovery.
