Abstract Hydrogels have received great attention due to their molecular designability and wide application range. However, they are prone freeze at low temperatures the existence of mass water molecules, which can damage flexibility transparency, greatly limiting use in cold environments. Although adding cryoprotectants reduce freezing point hydrogels, it may also deteriorate mechanical properties face risk cryoprotectant leakage. Herein, microphase‐separated structures hydrogels regulated confine molecules sub‐6 nm nanochannels increase proportion bound water, endowing with intrinsic anti‐freezing properties, high strength, good stretchability, remarkable fracture energy, puncture resistance. Even after being kept liquid nitrogen for 1000 h, hydrogel still maintains transparency. The exhibit excellent low‐temperature shape memory intelligent optical waveguide properties.

Silver nanowire (Ag NW)-based elastic conductors have been considered a promising candidate for key stretchable electrodes in wearable devices. However, the weak interface interaction of Ag NWs and substrates leads to poor durability electronic For everyday usage, an additional self-healing ability is required resist scratching damage. Therefore, robust NW-based possessing stretchability, self-healing, stability are highly desirable challenging. Here, we present universal tailoring strategy that introduces thiols onto dynamically cross-linked substrate surface. The surface thiol groups strongly interact with through Ag–S bonds, forming stable conductive layer on substrate. At elevated temperatures, partially embedded buffer formed release concentrated stress. As result, conductor displays combination good conductivity, high stretchability (>1000%), efficient capability (>95%), remarkable stability. Besides, combining properties mentioned above suitable fabricating sensitive durable strain sensor against cyclic strain. presented can be versatile effective route generating other thiol-rich covalently elastomers dynamic disulfide bonds.

Abstract Ion‐conductive elastomers capable of damping can significantly mitigate the interference caused by mechanical noise during data acquisition in wearable and biomedical devices. However, currently available often lack robust properties have a narrow temperature range for effective damping. Here, precise modulation weak to strong ion‐dipole interactions plays crucial role bolstering network stability tuning relaxation behavior supramolecular ion‐conductive (SICEs). The SICEs exhibit impressive properties, including modulus 13.2 MPa, toughness 65.6 MJ m −3 , fracture energy 74.9 kJ −2 . Additionally, they demonstrate remarkable capabilities, with capacity 91.2% peak tan δ 1.11. Furthermore, entropy‐driven rearrangement ensures SICE remain stable even at elevated temperatures (18–200 °C, > 0.3), making it most thermally resistant elastomer reported date. Moreover, proves filtering out various noises physiological signal detection strain sensing, highlighting its vast potential flexible electronics.
