Abstract Integrating diverse materials and functions into highly additive produce has piqued global interest due to the increasing demands of intelligent soft robotics. Nevertheless, existing assembly techniques, especially supramolecular which heavily rely on precise chemical design specific recognition, may prove inadequate when confronted with external demands. Inspired by traditional mechanical assembly, rivet connection, herein, a thermo‐responsive hydrogel unidirectional shape‐morphing is fabricated stable constructed emulating connection mechanism. This system employed poly(acrylamide‐ co ‐acrylic acid) [P(AAm‐ ‐AAc)] induce continuous swelling hexylamine‐modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA‐C6) as molecular switch control process. The rivet, initially threaded through pre‐fabricated hollows in two components. Subsequently, upon disassociation alkane chains would activate, inducing via anchor structures. Moreover, enhance strength, knots are introduced guiding localized stress release for programmed deformations. Additionally, can be remotely controlled using near‐infrared light (NIR) incorporating photo‐thermal nanoparticles. work presents universal efficient strategy constructing assemblies without compromising overall softness, offering significant potential fabrication integrated robots.

Abstract Recent work has demonstrated that temporary crosslinks in polymer networks generated by chemical “fuels” afford materials with large, transient changes their mechanical properties. This can be accomplished carboxylic‐acid‐functionalized hydrogels using carbodiimides, which generate anhydride lifetimes on the order of minutes to hours. Here, impact network architecture properties transiently crosslinked was explored. Single (SNs) were compared interpenetrated (IPNs). Notably, semi‐IPN precursors give IPNs treatment carbodiimide much higher fracture energies (i.e., resistance fracture) and superior compressive strain other architectures. A precursor material featuring acrylic acid only free chains yields, carbodiimide, an IPN a energy 2400 J/m 2 , fourfold increase analogous yields SN. enables formation macroscopic complex cut patterns, even at high strain, underscoring pivotal role performance.

Stimuli-responsive low molecular weight hydrogel interventions for Biomedical challenges are a rapidly evolving paradigm in the bottom-up approach recently. Peptide-based self-assembled nano biomaterials present safer alternatives to their non-degradable counterparts as demanded today's most urged clinical needs.Although plethora of work has already been accomplished, programming hydrogelators with appropriate functionalities requires better understanding impact macromolecular structure peptides and subsequently, nanostructures remain unidentified. Henceforth this review focuses on two aspects: Firstly, underlying guidelines building biomimetic strategies tailor scaffolds leading hydrogelation along role non-covalent interactions that key components various self-assembly processes. In second section, it is aimed bring together recent achievements designer assembly concerning self-aggregation behaviour applications mainly biomedical arena like drug delivery carrier design, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory well wound healing materials. Furthermore, anticipated article will provide conceptual demonstration different approaches taken towards construction these task-specific hydrogels. Finally, collective effort among material scientists required pave path entrance intelligent materials into medicine from bench bedside.

Abstract Polymer waste is a pressing issue that requires innovative solutions from the scientific community. As beacon of hope in addressing this challenge, concept sustainable supramolecular polymers (SSPs) emerges. This article discusses challenges and efforts fabricating SSPs. Addressing trade‐offs between mechanical performance sustainability, ultra‐tough multi‐recyclable are fabricated via tailoring mismatched interactions. Additionally, healing kinetically inert polymer materials realized through transient regulation interfacial reactivity. Furthermore, possible development trajectory for SSPs proposed, can be regarded as next generation field. The evolution promises to pivotal stride towards regenerative economy, sparking further exploration innovation realm materials.
