Cohesive and interfacial adhesion energies are difficult to balance obtain reversible adhesives with both high mechanical strength strength, although various methods have been extensively investigated. Here, a biocompatible citric acid/L-(−)-carnitine (CAC)-based ionic liquid was developed as solvent prepare tough ionogels for engineered biological adhesives. The prepared exhibited good properties, including tensile (14.4 MPa), Young's modulus (48.1 toughness (115.2 MJ m–3), on the glass substrate (24.4 MPa). Furthermore, can form mechanically matched at interface of wet tissues (interfacial about 191 J m–2) be detached by saline solution demand, thus extending potential applications in clinical scenarios such wound nondestructive transfer organs.

Currently, it remains challenging to balance intrinsic stiffness with programmability in most vitrimers. Simultaneously, coordinating materials gel-like iontronic properties for ion transmission while maintaining vitrimer programmable features underexplored. Here, we introduce a phase-engineering strategy fabricate bicontinuous heterogel (VHG) materials. Such VHGs exhibited high mechanical strength, an elastic modulus of up 116 MPa, strain performance exceeding 1000%, and switchable ratio surpassing 5 × 10 3 . Moreover, highly reprocessing shape memory morphing were realized owing the liquid–enhanced VHG network reconfiguration. Derived from pathway ILgel, which responded wide-span mechanics, iontronics had unique bidirectional stiffness-gated piezoresistivity, both positive negative piezoresistive properties. Our findings indicate that system can act as foundational material various promising applications, including smart sensors, soft machines, bioelectronics.
