Abstract Stimuli‐responsive surfaces have garnered intensive research attention in addressing the challenges of severe information leakage problems, but they exhibit limitations terms intricate preparation and compatibility. Herein, study reports a time‐dependent wrinkled surface controlled by photo‐induced stress relaxation azobenzene‐ containing crosslinked polymer network comprised furan‐containing (PEA‐Fu) maleimide‐substituted azobenzene (AZO‐2MI) as skin layer. Two kinds induced two networks (thermal‐ UV‐induced) can be prepared Diels‐Alder reaction UV‐induced radical coupling reaction, exhibiting distinct amplitude decrease rate resulted from different photo‐isomerization azobenzene. By UV preprogramming with photomasks, various wrinkle patterns are obtained identified at specific times under 450 nm irradiation. The time window for read out preset through boundary conditions to achieve multi‐level encryption. Furthermore, written camouflaged another “false” regional‐selective irradiation irradiation, which offers new method protection. Based on distinctive characteristics excellent stability, this responsive bright prospects

Hybrid organic-inorganic molecular ferroelectrics have emerged as promising materials for multifunctional piezoelectric devices. However, they present challenges in practical applications because of their inherent brittleness and poor ductility. Herein, we a flexible mechano-optical dual-responsive ferroelectric composite by incorporating trimethylchloromethyl ammonium (TMCM)–MnCl 3 into styrene ethylene butylene (SEBS) matrix. The SEBS/TMCM-MnCl exhibits excellent stretchable mechanical properties (tensile strain >1300%, thickness 30 μm), piezoelectricity, photoluminescence, enabling advanced visual-tactile–fused anticounterfeiting encryption applications. Anticounterfeiting antitampering tags are developed to judge whether the valued items true or tampered with based on pattern recognition response, respectively. Additionally, high-security password keyboards featuring triple-layer designed, offering more combinations (524,288 times greater than those traditional devices relying solely digital encryption) enhanced security reliability against cracking attempts. This work can inspire designs optoelectronic enable intelligent human-machine interfaces, information security, robotics.
