Abstract
Macroscopic self-assembly of µm-to-mm components (dimension from 100 µm to millimeters), is meaningful to realize the concept of "self-assembly at all scales" and to understand interfacial phenomena such as adhesion, self-healing, and adsorption. However, self-assembly at this length scale is different from molecular self-assembly due to limited collision chances and binding capacity between components. Long-time contact between components is requisite to realize µm-to-mm assembly. Even though the recent idea of adding a compliant coating to enhance the molecular binding capacity is effective for such self-assembly, a trade-off between coating thickness (several micrometers) and assembly efficiency exists. Here a new compliant coating of surface-initiated polymer brush to address the above paradox by both realizing fast assembly and reducing the coating thickness to ≈40 nm by two magnitudes is demonstrated. Millimeter-sized quartz cubes are used as components and grafted with oppositely charged polyelectrolyte brushes, enabling assembly in water by electrostatic attraction and disassembly in NaCl solutions. A rule of thickness-dependent assembly chance is obtained and understood by in situ force measurements and a multivalent theory. The polymer brush strategy pushes the thickness limit of requisite compliant coating to the nanoscale for fast µm-to-mm self-assembly and provides insights into rapid wet adhesion.

Abstract
In these decades, considerable attention has focused on supramolecular polymers due to their unique structures and properties. More recently, macroscopic supramolecular polymers have attracted increasing interest from not only biologists but also materials scientists inspired by the sophisticated structures and functions of living organisms. Since the functions of supramolecular polymers are strongly dependent on their shape, control of the shape is an important issue in controlling the functions of supramolecular polymers. However, the control of shape in macroscopic supramolecular assemblies has not yet been sufficiently investigated. Previously, we studied the macroscopic self-assembly behavior of super absorbent polymer (SAP) microparticles modified with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and adamantane (Ad) residues (βCD(x)-SAP and Ad(y)-SAP microparticles, where x and y are the mol% contents of βCD and Ad residues, respectively). More elongated assemblies were formed at higher y, indicating that the shape of assemblies can be controlled by varying the interaction strength. The noteworthy is that 1-adamantanamine hydrochloride (AdNH3Cl) assisted the formation of assemblies from βCD(x)-SAP and Ad(y)-SAP microparticles, indicating that AdNH3Cl acts as a chemical stimulus for macroscopic assemblies of βCD(x)-SAP and Ad(y)-SAP microparticles. In this study, we have thus studied the assembling behavior of βCD(x)-SAP microparticles with Ad(y)-SAP microparticles and unmodified SAP microparticles assisted by AdNH3Cl, as well as the shape of the resulting macroscopic assemblies. AdNH3Cl assisted the formation of assemblies from βCD(16.2)-SAP and Ad(15.1)-SAP microparticles, in which AdNH3Cl crosslinked the SAP microparticles through the formation of inclusion complexes of βCD residues with the Ad residue and the electrostatic interaction of ammonium and carboxylate residues. Assemblies of βCD(26.7)-SAP and unmodified SAP microparticles were formed at the concentrations of AdNH3Cl ([AdNH3Cl]0) higher than a certain level (ca. 0.05 mM). The aspect ratio (a/b) of assemblies showed a maximum at [AdNH3Cl]0 ~ 0.10 mM, indicating that the chemical stimulus, i.e., addition of AdNH3Cl, controls the shape of assemblies formed from βCD(26.7)-SAP and unmodified SAP microparticles. This study suggests that other stimuli, e.g., heat, pH, light, redox, and force, can be utilized to control the shape of macroscopic assemblies based on supramolecular interactions.

Abstract
Typical methods for stable immobilization of proteins often involve time-consuming surface modification of silicon-based materials to enable specific binding, while the nonspecific adsorption method is faster but usually unstable. Herein, we fused a silica-binding protein, Si-tag, to target proteins so that the target proteins could attach directly to silica substrates in a single step, markedly streamlining the immobilization process. The adhesion force between the Si-tag and glass substrates was determined to be approximately 400-600 pN at the single-molecule level by atomic force microscopy, which is greater than the unfolding force of most proteins. The adhesion force of the Si-tag exhibits a slight increase when pulled from the C-terminus compared to that from the N-terminus. Furthermore, the Si-tag's adhesion force on a glass surface is marginally higher than that on a silicon nitride probe. The binding properties of the Si-tag are not obviously affected by environmental factors, including pH, salt concentration, and temperature. In addition, the macroscopic adhesion force between the Si-tag-coated hydrogel and glass substrates was ∼40 times higher than that of unmodified hydrogels. Therefore, the Si-tag, with its strong silica substrate binding ability, provides a useful tool as an excellent fusion tag for the rapid and mechanically robust immobilization of proteins on silica and for the surface coating of silica-binding materials.

Abstract
Macroscopic assembly offers immense potential for constructing complex systems due to the high design flexibility of the building blocks. In such assembly systems, hydrogels are promising candidates for building blocks due to their versatile chemical compositions and ease of property tuning. However, two major challenges must be addressed to facilitate application in a broader context: the precision of assembly and the quantity of orthogonally matching pairs must both be increased. Although previous studies have attempted to address these challenges, none have successfully dealt with both simultaneously. Here, we propose topology-based design criteria for the selective assembly of hydrogel building blocks. By introducing the dual lock-and-key structures, we demonstrate highly precise assembly exclusively between the matching pairs. We establish principles for selecting multiple orthogonally matching pairs and achieve selective assembly involving simple one-to-one matching and complex assemblies with multiple orthogonal matching points. Moreover, by harnessing hydrogel tunability and the abundance of matching pairs, we synthesize complementary single-stranded structures for programmable assembly and successfully assemble them in the correct order. Finally, we demonstrate a hydrogel-based self-assembled logic gate system, including a YES gate, an OR gate, and an AND gate. The output is generated only when the corresponding inputs are provided according to each logic.

Abstract
We demonstrate molecular-conformation-dependent macroscopic supramolecular self-assembly (MSA) driven by electrostatic interactions. Evidence from single molecular force spectroscopy reveals that polyelectrolytes modified on MSA component surfaces make MSA possible with a loop conformation, while those with a flat conformation lead to no assembly, which is attributed to distinct molecular mobility. We believe that this finding is also applicable in fundamental phenomena such as surface adsorption and adhesion regarding polymers.

Abstract
A macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) refers to non-covalent interactions between building blocks over a micrometer scale, which provides insights into bio-/wet adhesion, self-healing, and so on and new fabrication strategies to heterogeneous structures and bio-scaffolds. The key to realize the MSA of rigid materials is pre-modifying a compliant coating known as a "flexible spacing coating" beneath the interactive moieties. However, available coatings are limited to polyelectrolyte multilayers with shortcomings of tedious fabrication, weak adhesion to substrates, susceptibility to external reagents, and so on. Here, we develop a facile method to induce a new "flexible spacing coating" of a poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogel with electrostatic interactions to achieve MSA of diverse rigid materials (quartz, metal, rubber, and plastics). Selective self-assembly of positive-negative charged surfaces is observed by the naked eye under 3 min of shaking in water, providing strategies to rapid wet adhesion. The interfacial binding force between positive-negative interacted surfaces is 1018.1 ± 299.2 N/m2, which is over two magnitudes larger than that of control groups, that is, positive-positive (24.4 ± 10.0 N/m2) and negative-negative (67.5 ± 16.7 N/m2) interacted surfaces. In situ force measurements and control experiments of identically charged building blocks have strongly supported the improved binding strength and chemical selectivity between interactive building blocks. The coating is advantageous with a simple fabrication, strong adhesion to materials, robust solvent tolerance to assembly solutions, and feasibility of photo-patterning. We envision that the above strategy would broaden the material choices of flexible spacing coatings for efficient MSA and new methods for rapid interfacial adhesion.

Abstract
Macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) of building blocks larger than 1 μm provides new methodology for fabrication of functional supramolecular materials and a platform for mechanism investigation of interfacial phenomena. Most reports on MSA are restricted to soft hydrogels, and supramolecular groups can be directly integrated into a hydrogel matrix to generate sufficient attraction for maintaining macroscopic assemblies. For non-hydrogel stiff building blocks, two layer-by-layer modification processes consisting of flexible spacing coating and additional interacting groups are necessary to enable MSA, which is laborious and time-consuming. Approaches for highly efficient MSA based on flexible spacing coating are desired. In this work, MSA of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) building blocks is demonstrated by inducing microgel films that serve as both flexible spacing coating and surface functional groups, thus avoiding a two-step LbL modification process. By the varying bilayer number of microgel films, the MSA probability of modified PDMS increases from 54% at 3 bilayers to 100% at 6 bilayers. Control experiments and in situ force measurement strongly support the obtained MSA results and verify the dominant role of the microgel film as a flexible spacing coating and a supramolecularly interactive layer in achieving MSA. Moreover, the underlying mechanism is interpreted as low Young's modulus microgel films rendering surface groups highly mobile to enhance the multivalent interfacial binding. Taken together, this work has demonstrated the feasibility of MSA of rigid building blocks assisted by microgel films as flexible spacing coating and supramolecularly interactive layer simultaneously, which may extend the application fields of microgel materials to interfacial adhesion and advanced manufacturing with MSA methodology.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based pH-responsive bilayer actuators exhibit bidirectional actuation due to the differences in the concentration gradient developed across the thickness, the volume expansion due to swelling, and the mechanical stiffness of the layers involved. At a pH value (point), where the sum of these factors generates moments of equal magnitudes, the moments cancel each other and result in no net actuation. This pH point is termed here as a "nonmorphing point". In this work, we present a bilayer of chitosan (CS) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) cross-linked with citric acid (CA) with tunable nonmorphing points across the pH spectrum by modulating the concentration and cross-linking density of the layers involved. The standard CS/CMC bilayer films took about 40 s to completely fold (clockwise) in 0.1 M HCl and 78 s to completely fold (anticlockwise) in 0.1 M NaOH. Generally, pH-responsive actuators are designed for targeted drug delivery to a specific site inside the body as they show bidirectional (clockwise/anticlockwise) actuation around a single nonmorphing point. The same pH-responsive system cannot be applied for drug release at another site with a different functioning pH. Thus, having a pH-responsive system with multiple nonmorphing points is highly desirable. Drug release experiments were performed with FITC and EtBr as model drugs loaded in CS and CMC layers. Moreover, the clockwise/anticlockwise actuation of the bilayer around the nonmorphing point can facilitate or inhibit the release of a drug. The clockwise actuation resulted in 55% FITC release and inhibited EtBr release to 4%; anticlockwise actuation resulted in 50% EtBr release and inhibited FITC release to 5%. We demonstrated morphing induced drug release by hydrogel bilayer films with tunable nonmorphing points across the pH spectrum.

Abstract
Herein, we report a four-step mechanism for the spontaneous multi-scale supramolecular assembly (MSSA) process in a two-phase system concerning an ionic liquid (IL). The complex ions, elementary building blocks (EBBs), [EBB]n clusters and macroscopic assembly (MA) sphere are formed step by step. The porous large-sized [EBB]n clusters in the glassy state can hardly stay in the IL phase and they transfer to the IL-water interface due to both electroneutrality and amphiphilicity. Then, the clusters undergo random collision in the interface driven by the Marangoni effect and capillary force thereafter. Finally, a single MA sphere can be formed owing to supramolecular interactions. To our knowledge, this is the first example realizing spontaneous whole-process supramolecular assembly covering microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic scales in extraction systems. The concept of multi-scale selectivity (MSS) is therefore suggested and its mechanism is revealed. The selective separation and solidification of metal ions can be realized in a MSSA-based extraction system depending on MSS. In addition, insights into the physicochemical characteristics of ILs from microscopic, mesoscopic to macroscopic scales are provided, and especially, the solvation effect of ILs on the large-sized clusters leading to the phase-splitting is examined. It is quite important that the polarization of uranyl in its complex, the growing of uranyl clusters in an IL as well as the glassy material of uranyl are investigated systematically on the basis of both experiment and theoretical calculations in this work.

Abstract
Supramolecular self-assembly of μm-to-mm sized components is essential to construct complex supramolecular systems. However, the selective assembly to form designated structures at this length scale is challenging because the short-ranged molecular recognition could hardly direct the assembly of macroscopic components. Here we demonstrate a self-sorting mechanism to automatically identify the surface chemistry of μm-to-mm components (A: polycations; B: polyanions) based on the A-B attraction and the A-A repulsion, which is realized by the additivity and the competence between long-ranged magnetic/capillary forces, respectively. Mechanistic studies of the correlation between the magnetic/capillary forces and the interactive distance have revealed the energy landscape of each assembly pattern to support the self-sorting results. By applying this mechanism, the assembly yield of ABA trimers has been increased from 30%~40% under conventional conditions to 100% with self-sorting. Moreover, we have demonstrated rapid and spontaneous self-assembly of advanced chain-like structures with alternate surface chemistry.

Abstract
Stretchable electronics are emerging for personalized and decentralized clinics, wearable devices and human-machine interactions. Nowadays, separated stretchable functional parts have been well developed and are approaching practical usage. However, the production of whole stretchable devices with full functions still faces a huge challenge: the integration of different components, which was hindered by the mechanical mismatch and stress/strain concentration at the connection interfaces. To avoid connection failure in stretchable devices, a new research focus is to improve the interfacial binding strength between different components. In this review, recent developments to enhance interfacial strength in wearable/implantable electronics are introduced and catalogued into three major strategies: (i) covalent bonding between different device parts, (ii) molecular interpenetration or mechanical interlocking at the interfaces and (iii) covalent connection between the human body and devices. Besides reviewing current methods, we also discuss the existing challenges and possible improvements for stretchable devices from the aspect of interfacial connections.

Abstract
A photo-switchable hetero-complementary quadruple H-bonding array, which consists of an azobenzene-derived ureidopyrimidinone (UPy) module (Azo-UPy) and a nonphotoactive diamidonaphthyridine (DAN) derivative (Napy-1), is constructed based on a reversible photo-locking approach. Upon UV (390 nm)/Vis (460 nm) light irradiations, photo-switchable quadruple H-bonded dimerization between Azo-UPy and Napy-1 can be achieved with exhibiting 4.8×104 -fold differences in binding strength (ON/OFF ratios). Furthermore, smart polymeric gels with unique photo-controlled macroscopic self-assembly behavior can be fabricated by introducing such quadruple H-bonding array as photo-regulable noncovalent interfacial connections.

Abstract
Hydrogels consisting of a three-dimensional hydrophilic network of biocompatible polymers have been widely used in tissue engineering. Owing to their tunable mechanical properties, hydrogels have been applied in both hard and soft tissues. However, most hydrogels lack self-adhesive properties that enable integration with surrounding tissues, which may result in suture or low repair efficacy. Self-adhesive hydrogels (SAHs), an emerging class of hydrogels based on a combination of three-dimensional hydrophilic networks and self-adhesive properties, continue to garner increased attention in recent years. SAHs exhibit reliable and suitable adherence to tissues, and easily integrate into tissues to promote repair efficiency. SAHs are designed either by mimicking the adhesion mechanism of natural organisms, such as mussels and sandcastle worms, or by using supramolecular strategies. This review summarizes the design and processing strategies of SAHs, clarifies underlying adhesive mechanisms, and discusses their applications in tissue engineering, as well as future challenges.

Abstract
Self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles into mesoscopic or macroscopic nanoparticle assemblies is an efficient strategy to fabricate advanced devices with emergent nanoscale functionalities. Furthermore, assembly of nanoparticles onto substrates may enable the fabrication of substrate-integrated devices, akin to atomic crystal growth on a substrate. Recent progress in nanoparticle assembly suggests that ordered nanoparticle assemblies could be well produced on a selected substrate, referred to as soft epitaxial growth. Herein, recent advances in soft epitaxial growth of a nanoparticle assembly are presented, including the assembly strategies, the choice of substrate and the epitaxial modes. Perspectives are also discussed for the material design based on substrate-integrated soft epitaxial growth.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with chemical diversity are significant to direct cell adhesion onto targeted surfaces, which provides solutions to further control over cell fates and even tissue formation. However, the site-specific modification of specific biomolecules to realize selective cell adhesion has been a challenge with the current methods when building 3D scaffolds. Conventional methods of immersing as-prepared structures in solutions of biomolecules lead to nonselective adsorption; recent printing methods have to address the problem of switching multiple nozzles containing different biomolecules. The recently developed concept of macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) based on the idea of "modular assembly" is promising to fabricate such 3D scaffolds with advantages of flexible design and combination of diverse modules with different surface chemistry. Herein we report an MSA method to fabricate 3D ordered structures with internal chemical diversity for site-selective cell adhesion. The 3D structure is prepared via 3D alignment of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) building blocks with magnetic pick-and-place operation and subsequent interfacial bindings between PDMS based on host/guest molecular recognition. The site-specific cell affinity is realized by distributing targeted building blocks that are modified with polylysine molecules of opposite chiralities: PDMS modified with films containing poly-l-lysine (PLL) show higher cell density than those with poly-d-lysine (PDL). This principle of selective cell adhesion directed simply by spatial distribution of chiral molecules has been proven effective for five different cell lines. This facile MSA strategy holds promise to build complex 3D microenvironment with on-demand chemical/biological diversities, which is meaningful to study cell/material interactions and even tissue formation.

Abstract
Macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) is a new concept of supramolecular science with an emphasis on noncovalent interactions between macroscopic building blocks with sizes exceeding 10 μm. Owing to a similar noncovalently interactive nature with the phenomena of bioadhesion, self-healing, etc. and flexible features in tailoring and designing modular building blocks, MSA has been developed as a simplified model to interpret interfacial phenomena and a facile method to fabricate supramolecular materials. However, at this early stage, MSA has always been limited to hydrogel materials, which provide flowability for high molecular mobility to the interfacial binding. The extension to a wide range of materials for MSA is desired. Herein, we have developed a strategy of adjusting intrinsic properties (e.g., elastic modulus) of nonhydrogel materials to realize MSA, which could broaden the material choices of MSA. Using the widely used elastomer of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) as building blocks, we have demonstrated the elastic-modulus-dependent MSA of PDMS based on the host/guest molecular recognition between supramolecular groups of β-cyclodextrin and adamantane. In the varied elastic modulus range of 0.38 to 3.84 MPa, we obtained the trend of the MSA probability decreasing from 100% at 0.38 MPa to 0% at 3.84 MPa. Meanwhile, in situ measurements of interactive forces between PDMS building blocks have supported the observed assembly phenomena. The underlying reasons are interpreted with the low-modulus flexible surfaces favoring for high molecular mobility to achieve interactions between multiple sites at the interface based on the theory of multivalency. Taken together, we have demonstrated the feasibility of directly adjusting the modulus of bulk materials to realize MSA of nonhydrogel materials, which may provide clues to the fast wet adhesion and new solutions to the additive manufacture of elastomer materials.

Abstract
Hydrogel adhesion inherently relies on engineering the contact surface at soft and hydrated interfaces. Upon contact, adhesion normally occurs through the formation of chemical or physical interactions between the disparate surfaces. The ability to form these adhesion junctions is challenging for hydrogels as the interfaces are wet and deformable and often contain low densities of functional groups. In this Review, we link the design of the binding chemistries or adhesion junctions, whether covalent, dynamic covalent, supramolecular, or physical, to the emergent adhesive properties of soft and hydrated interfaces. Wet adhesion is useful for bonding to or between tissues and implants for a range of biomedical applications. We highlight several recent and emerging adhesive hydrogels for use in biomedicine in the context of efficient junction design. The main focus is on engineering hydrogel adhesion through molecular design of the junctions to tailor the adhesion strength, reversibility, stability, and response to environmental stimuli.

Abstract
Biological macroscopic assemblies have inspired researchers to utilize molecular recognition to develop smart materials in these decades. Recently, macroscopic self-assemblies based on molecular recognition have been realized using millimeter-scale hydrogel pieces possessing molecular recognition moieties. During the study on macroscopic self-assembly based on molecular recognition, we noticed that the shape of assemblies might be dependent on the host-guest pair. In this study, we were thus motivated to study the macroscopic shape of assemblies formed through host-guest interaction. We modified crosslinked poly(sodium acrylate) microparticles, i.e., superabsorbent polymer (SAP) microparticles, with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and adamantyl (Ad) residues (βCD(x)-SAP and Ad(y)-SAP microparticles, respectively, where x and y denote the mol% contents of βCD and Ad residues). Then, we studied the self-assembly behavior of βCD(x)-SAP and Ad(y)-SAP microparticles through the complexation of βCD with Ad residues. There was a threshold of the βCD content in βCD(x)-SAP microparticles for assembly formation between x = 22.3 and 26.7. On the other hand, the shape of assemblies was dependent on the Ad content, y; More elongated assemblies were formed at a higher y. This may be because, at a higher y, small clusters formed in an early stage can stick together even upon collisions at a single contact point to form elongated aggregates, whereas, at a smaller y, small clusters stick together only upon collisions at multiple contact points to give rather circular assemblies. On the basis of these observations, the shape of assembly formed from microparticles can be controlled by varying y.

Abstract
Integration of diverse materials into 3D ordered structures is urgently required for advanced manufacture owing to increase in demand for high-performance products. Most additive manufacturing techniques mainly focus on simply combining different equipment, while interfacial binding of distinctive materials remains a fundamental problem. Increasing studies on macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) have revealed efficient interfacial interactions based on multivalency of supramolecular interactions facilitated by a "flexible spacing coating." To demonstrate facile fabrication of 3D heterogeneous ordered structures, the combination of MSA and magnetic field-assisted alignment has been developed as a new methodology for in situ integration of a wide range of materials, including elastomer, resin, plastics, metal, and quartz glass, with modulus ranging from tens of MPa to over 70 GPa. Assembly of single material, coassembly of two to four distinctive materials, and 3D alignment of "bridge-like" and "cross-stacked" heterogeneous structures are demonstrated. This methodology has provided a new solution to mild and efficient assembly of multiple materials at the macroscopic scale, which holds promise for advanced fabrication in fields of tissue engineering, electronic devices, and actuators.

Abstract
Rapid and reversible actuation and shape memory effects are critical for biomimetic soft actuators based on polymer hydrogels. However, most conventional hydrogel actuators show very slow actuation or deformation rates in water. It remains a challenge to realize rapid actuations, particularly for hydrogels to actuate in air. Here, a novel strategy to create diverse hydrogel devices with shape memory effects and rapid reversible actuations even in air was demonstrated. This strategy relies on a precise definition of local crosslinking by using multivalent metal ion coordination. This is demonstrated by infiltrating Fe3+ ions into stretchable nanocomposite polyacrylamide hydrogels with the amide groups converted into primary amine groups for multivalent coordination and crosslinking. The Fe3+ coordination with amine groups enhanced the crosslink density and modulus, leading to deswelling. By using an iron rod electrode, the Fe3+ coordination and crosslinking were precisely controlled to generate hydrogels with heterogeneous local crosslinking, including Janus hydrogels, S-shaped hydrogels, and cross-shaped hydrogel grippers. These soft devices were reversibly actuated in tens of seconds when cyclically dehydrated in ethanol and rehydrated in water. Most interestingly, very rapid reversible actuations of a hydrogel device in air were demonstrated by using electro-redox reaction of Fe3+ and Fe2+ in the hydrogel, where the reversible local coordination crosslinking and decomposition served as a hinge to actuate the hydrogel. This strategy based on reversible local coordination and crosslinking may open an avenue for rapid fabrication of hydrogel devices with well-defined structures and actuation properties.

Abstract
Mechanically responsive smart windows with adjustable light transmittance have attracted more and more attention due to their great potential in our daily life. However, their fabrication normally requires complicated preparation such as oxygen plasma treatment and high-cost materials (i.e., poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)), which hinders their practical applications. Herein, a principally different mechanically responsive smart window, i.e., a pressure-responsive smart window, is reported, which is achieved by harnessing the synergistic interactions (i.e., hydrogen bonding and surface roughness compensation) between the two constituent parts, i.e., hydrogel and agar films. The pressure-responsive smart window features the ultrafast response time (37.5 ms) and high transmittance changes (∼50%) with excellent repeatability, which can be stained with different colors and operated on a flexible substrate. Since the pressure-responsive smart window enables the utilization of the low-cost material and does not require the external energy input, it is anticipated that it may have great potential in practical applications.

Abstract
The dynamic behavior of a macroscopic adhered hydrogel stabilized through controllable dynamic covalent interactions is reported. These interactions, involving the cross-linked formation of a hydrogel through reaction of a diacylhydrazine precursor with a tetraformyl partner, increase as a function of time. By using a contact time of 24 h and different compounds with recognized aggregation-induced emission features (AIEgens), it proves possible to create six laminated acylhydrazone hydrogels displaying different fluorescent colors. Blocks of these hydrogels are then adhered into a structure resembling a Rubik's Cube, a trademark of Rubik's Brand Limited, (RC) and allowed to anneal for 1 h. This produces a 3 × 3 × 3 block (RC) wherein the individual fluorescent gel blocks are loosely adhered to one another. As a consequence, the 1 × 3 × 3 layers making up the RC can be rotated either horizontally or vertically to produce new patterns. Ex situ modification of the RC or application of a chemical stimulus can be used to produce new color arrangements. The present RC structure highlights how the temporal features, strong versus weak adhesion, may be exploited to create smart macroscopic structures.

Abstract
Self-healing and electrically conductive silk fibroin (SF)-based hydrogels were developed based on the dynamic assembly/disassembly nature of supramolecular complexes and the conductive nature of polypyrrole (PPy). The self-healing properties of the hydrogels were achieved through host-guest interactions between β-cyclodextrin and amino acid side chains (tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, and histidine) on SF. PPy deposition was achieved via in situ polymerization of pyrrole using ammonium persulfate as an oxidant and laccase as a catalyst. The PPy-coated hydrogels behaved as an elastomer and displayed excellent electrical properties, with adjustable electrical conductivities ranging from 0.8 ± 0.2 to (1.0 ± 0.3) × 10-3 S·cm-1. Furthermore, possibility of potential utilization of the hydrogels in electrochemistry applications as flexible yet self-healable electrode materials was explored. This study not only shows great potential in expanding the role of silk-based devices for various applications but also provides a useful approach for designing multifunctional self-healing protein-based hydrogels.

Abstract
The layer-by-layer technique was exploited to adjust the magnitude of the host⁻guest interactions between adamantane and cyclodextrin. The effect depends on numerous complex and changeable growth profiles of the films and the number of bilayers. These composite films of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and hyaluronic acid⁻cyclodextrin(HA-CD) were constructed to load the fluorescent dyes and peptides. The release rates of these molecules would decrease with an increase in the number of layers. A laser scanning confocal microscope was utilized to obtain the diffusion coefficient of fluorescein isothiocyanate. Hybrid films could be applied to increase the loading of different kinds of molecules and could also be integrated into the lamination to delay the rate of release.

Abstract
Macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) is a recent advance in supramolecular chemistry that involves associating large building blocks with a size larger than 10 µm through noncovalent interactions. However, until now the applicable material system is rather limited to hydrogels, and MSA of rigid materials with supramolecular interactions widely used in molecular assembly has rarely been reported due to the difficulty in achieving multivalency between rigid surfaces. Herein, the concept of flexible spacing coating is applied with highly flowable properties, and the electrostatic-interaction-driven MSA of relatively rigid polydimethylsiloxane building blocks is demonstrated. With the flexible spacing coating of a polyelectrolyte multilayer, the oppositely charged rigid building blocks can realize MSA under shaking in water for 5 min. The major contribution of the electrostatic interaction is confirmed by both qualitative controlled MSA experiments in other solvents, disassembly in ionic solution and quantitative results with an in situ force measurement method.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry has provided versatile and affordable solutions for the design of intelligent soft materials, but it cannot be applied in stiff materials. This paper describes a new concept for the design of high-performance supramolecular thermosets by using the noncovalent cation-π interaction as cross-linking. These supramolecular thermosets are a class of infusible and insoluble stiff polymers having excellent mechanical properties even at temperatures exceeding 300 °C. The cation-π interaction can be locally and reversibly installed and removed by aqueous treatments at high or low pH, respectively. Local manipulation of cross-linking confers these thermosets with multiple stimuli-responsive functions, such as recyclability, healability, adhesion, and nondestructive detection of cross-linking and mechanical properties.

Abstract
There is an urgent demand to construct multiplexed biomolecular patterns to obtain more biological information from a single experiment. However, with only limited reports focusing on defective top-down approaches, challenges remain to develop a bottom-up strategy for multiplexed patterning. To this end, a novel strategy has been proposed to fabricate multiplexed DNA patterns via macroscopic assembly through combined precise magnetic manipulation and DNA hybridization-driven self-assembly. Therefore, a multiplexed DNA pattern composed of glass fibers loaded with multiple specific strands of DNA was constructed, and its potential application in simultaneous detection of multiplex target DNA was demonstrated. Moreover, the fabricated multiplexed DNA pattern shows an erasable behavior because the hybridized DNA can be disassembled by strand displacement.

Abstract
Macroscopic supramolecular assembly (MSA) represents a new advancement in supramolecular chemistry involving building blocks with sizes beyond tens of micrometers associating through noncovalent interactions. MSA is established as a unique method to fabricate supramolecularly assembled materials by shortening the length scale between bulk materials and building blocks. However, improving the precise alignment during assembly to form orderly assembled structures remains a challenge. Although the pretreatment of building blocks can ameliorate order to a certain degree, defects or mismatching still exists, which limits the practical applications of MSA. Therefore, an iterative poststrategy is proposed, where self-correction based on dynamic assembly/disassembly is applied to achieve precise, massive, and parallel assembly. The self-correction process consists of two key steps: the identification of poorly ordered structures and the selective correction of these structures. This study develops a diffusion-kinetics-dependent disassembly to well identify the poorly aligned structures and correct these structures through iterations of disassembly/reassembly in a programmed fashion. Finally, a massive and parallel assembly of 100 precise dimers over eight iteration cycles is achieved, thus providing a powerful solution to the problem of processing insensitivity to errors in self-assembly-related methods.

Abstract
Due to the noncovalent interactions between the layers of polyelectrolyte films, the layer-by-layer assembled multilayered films always face the challenge of low film stiffness and chemical stability under extreme conditions. To handle this issue, we incorporated 4,4'-diazostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid disodium salt (DAS) as a crosslinker and subsequently photocrosslinked the layers of a poly(allylamine hydrochloride)/catalase multilayered film. The results showed that DAS could stabilize the prepared film in a manner similar to the traditional cross-linker glutaraldehyde. The multilayered film showed good biocompatibility with a positive effect on cell proliferation. Therefore, by using the commercially available DAS crosslinker, we provide a synthesis-free and biocompatible method to stabilize polyelectrolyte multilayers for broad and significant applications in biological fields, e.g., varying crosslinking density to adjust the mechanical strength of biomaterials, stabilizing susceptible biofilms, or introducing functional groups onto cell membranes.
