Encapsulating photoresponsive molecules into polymers is an effective strategy to achieve fast and efficient photochromism in the solid state. Water often used as dispersion phase for formation of polymeric microparticles; however, it reacts with induces irreversible structural degradation. In this work, we report a post-synthesis fabricate photochromic microparticles, where donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) are applied molecules. Unlike direct loading, hydrostable precursors loaded during followed by synthesizing DASAs inside microparticles water-free environment. The reversibly switched between colored colorless states under control visible light irradiation heat, while also exhibiting improved stability hygrothermal conditions. Further applications smart additives demonstrated controlling color-switching bulk materials rewritable photopatterning on surfaces. approach envisioned general water-sensitive functional
