Abstract Morphing hydrogels have versatile applications in soft robotics, flexible electronics, and biomedical devices. Controlling component distribution internal stress within a hydrogel is crucial for shape‐changing. However, existing gradient structures of are usually non‐reconstructable, once encoded by chemical reactions covalent bonds. Fabricating with distinct inevitable every new configuration, resulting poor reusability, adaptability, sustainability that disadvantageous diverse applications. Herein, containing reversible photo‐crosslinks enable reprogramming the 3D deformations into various configurations reported. The prepared micellar polymerization hydrophobic coumarin monomer hydrophilic acrylic acid. presence hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride micelles increases local concentration units also improves mechanical properties forming robust polyelectrolyte/surfactant complexes serve as physical crosslinks.
