Abstract
Elastomers with environmental adaption have attracted considerable attention for advanced applications in various areas. Here, we fabricate an ambient environment adaptive elastomer by assembling triblock copolymers polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid)-b-polystyrene (SAS) and polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polystyrene (SES). Owing to the microphase separation of triblock polymers and hydrogen-bonding complexation of their middle segments, the SAS/SES complex presents dichotomy of vitrified hard PS domains and soft PAA/PEO domains, which presents major relaxation transition in the temperature zone 10-30 °C and relative humidity (RH) 40-60%. The SAS/SES elastomer presents quick adaption to the ambient environment change with temperature and humidity coupling. Moreover, after a loading-unloading cycle training, the SAS/SES elastomer exhibits domain orientation, low energy dissipation, high recovery ratio, and distinct strain stiffening compared with the pristine complex. The SAS/SES elastomer has potential to be used as a sensing and adaption component for complicated intelligent systems.

Abstract
Polymer complex fibers (PCFs) are a novel kind of fiber material processed from polymer complexes that are assembled through noncovalent interactions. These can realize the synergy of functional components and miscibility on the molecular level. The dynamic character of noncovalent interactions endows PCFs with remarkable properties, such as reversibility, stimuli responsiveness, self-healing, and recyclability, enabling them to be applied in multidisciplinary fields. The objective of this article is to provide a review of recent progress in the field of PCFs. The classification based on chain interactions will be first introduced followed by highlights of the fabrication technologies and properties of PCFs. The effects of composition and preparation method on fiber properties are also discussed, with some emphasis on utilizing these for rational design. Finally, we carefully summarize recent advanced applications of PCFs in the fields of energy storage and sensors, water treatment, biomedical materials, artificial actuators, and biomimetic platforms. This review is expected to deepen the comprehension of PCF materials and open new avenues for developing PCFs with tailor-made properties for advanced application.

Abstract
Stretchable optical diffuser is an indispensable photon management element in wearable display devices. Herein, a novel optical diffuser constructed by interfacial hydrogen bonding complexation of methylcellulose (MC), poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), and polymer complex nanoparticles (PCNP) on transparent polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate is proposed. The introduction of PEO can toughen the complex film and endow the coating with stretchability. With proper thermal treatment, the polymer complex can be crosslinked through esterification which shows an improved optical diffusion performance and durability. The optimized film exhibits 92% of transmittance (T), 93% of haze (H), and 73% of elongation. It also presents a desirable optical diffusion effect about 88% of T and 93% of H in the stretching state. Moreover, the resulting complex film shows excellent anti-fatigue capacity which maintains 90% of T and 90% of H after 10 000 stretching cycles. The reported polymer complex film broadens the application of interfacial complexation and demonstrates potential to apply in the integrated wearable optical devices.

Abstract
Herein, the supramolecular plastic-like hydrogel (SPH) is introduced as a platform to fabricate sustainable plastics with ultrahigh stiffness and strength as well as water-assisted arbitrarily shapeable capability. The transparent plastics are constructed from SPHs of cellulose ether/polycarboxylic acid complexes and demonstrate mechanical robustness with Young's modulus up to 3.4 GPa and tensile strength up to 124.0 MPa, superior or comparable to most common plastics. Meanwhile, the shape of the plastics can be reversibly engineered by air drying of the SPHs with diverse 2D/3D shapes and structures, which are generated conveniently via origami, kirigami, embossing, etc., in virtue of plastic deformation and shape memory effect of SPHs. On the basis of multi-dimensional infrared-spectral analysis, it is revealed that the dense acid-acid and acid-ether hydrogen (H)-bonding network in the plastic is responsible for the mechanical robustness while the evolution of water-polymer H-bonds into polymer-polymer H-bonds during air drying contributes to the shape fixing. This work provides a novel method of manufacturing sustainable plastics with simultaneous strong mechanical performance and convenient processibility from hydrogels with plastic-like mechanical behavior.

Abstract
Inspired by the striated structure of skeletal muscle fibers, a polymeric actuator by assembling two symmetric triblock copolymers, namely, polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid)-b-polystyrene (SAS) and polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polystyrene (SES) is developed. Owing to the microphase separation of the triblock copolymers and hydrogen-bonding complexation of their middle segments, the SAS/SES assembly forms a lamellar structure with alternating vitrified S and hydrogen-bonded A/E association layers. The SAS/SES strip can be actuated and operate in response to environmental pH. The contraction ratio and working density of the SAS/SES actuator are approximately 50% and 90 kJ m-3 , respectively; these values are higher than those of skeletal muscle fibers. In addition, the SAS/SES actuator shows a "catch-state", that is, it can maintain force without energy consumption, which is a feature of mollusc muscle but not skeletal muscle. This study provides a biomimetic approach for the development of artificial polymeric actuators with outstanding performance.

Abstract
Transparent and healable ionogels with very high mechanical strength, ionic conductivity, and resilience were fabricated for use as strain sensors with satisfactory reliability. The ionogels were fabricated by casting an aqueous solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) complexes and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([EMIm][DCA]), followed by evaporation of water at room temperature. The use of [EMIm][DCA] endowed the resulting ionogels with ionic conductivity at room temperature as high as 19.7 mS cm-1. Owing to the synergy between the abundant number of hydrogen bonds between PVA and PVP and the crystallized PVA segments that served as nanofillers, the resulting ionogels had good mechanical properties with a tensile stress of 7.7 MPa, a strain of 821%, and good resilience. In addition, the resulting ionogels showed rapid and repeatable sensing signals over a wide strain range (0.1-400%). This enabled them to detect both vigorous muscle movements, such as walking and jumping, and subtle muscle movements, such as pulse. Moreover, owing to the reversibility of hydrogen bonds, physically damaged mechanical properties, conductivity, and sensing ability of the ionogels could be conveniently healed with the assistance of water.

Abstract
Fiber-based linear actuators (FLAs) are a key module in microrobots and biomimetic devices. It has been a great challenge to develop linear actuators that can balance output stress and output strain and hence provide high working density. Herein, we report the preparation and performance of a FLA system made from commercially available materials and allowed mass production at relatively low cost. The FLAs can lift up or lay down objects more than 1000 times of its own weight during active contraction and expansion under environmental stimuli. The contraction ratio and output stress can reach 30% and 0.24 MPa, respectively, and the sustainable work density is about 80 J/kg, which is 10 times the typical value of human skeletal muscles. Especially, the FLAs show stable catch-state (lock-up state) with no creeping and no further energy consumption.

Abstract
We report on mechanically strong, water-insoluble hydrogen-bonded nanofiber mats composed of a hydrophilic polymer and a natural polyphenol that exhibit prolonged antioxidant activity. The high performance of fibrous mats resulted from the formation of a network of hydrogen bonds between a low-molecular-weight polyphenol (tannic acid, TA) and a water-soluble polymer (polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP) and could be precisely controlled by the TA-to-PVP ratio. Dramatic enhancement (5- to 10-fold) in tensile strength, toughness, and Young's moduli of the PVP/TA fiber mats (as compared to those of pristine PVP fibers) was achieved at the maximum density of hydrogen bonds, which occurred at ∼0.2-0.4 molar fractions of TA. The formation of hydrogen bonds was confirmed by an increase in the glass-transition temperature of the polymer after binding with TA. When exposed to water, the fibers exhibited composition- and pH-dependent stabilities, with the TA-enriched fibers fully preserving their integrity in acidic and neutral media. Importantly, the fiber mats exhibited strong antioxidant activity with dual (burst and prolonged) activity profiles, which could be controlled via fiber composition, a feature useful for controlling radical-scavenging rates in environmental and biological applications.

Abstract
Over the past few years, the concurrent (1) development of polymer synthesis and (2) introduction of new mathematical models for polymer dynamics have evolved the classical framework for polymer dynamics once established by Doi-Edwards/de Gennes. Although the analysis of supramolecular polymer dynamics based on linear rheology has improved a lot recently, there are a large number of insecurities behind the conclusions, which originate from the complexity of these novel systems. The interdependent effect of supramolecular entities (stickers) and chain dynamics can be overwhelming depending on the type and location of stickers as well as the architecture and chemistry of polymers. This Perspective illustrates these parameters and strives to determine what is still missing and has to be improved in the future works.

Abstract
The development of polymeric materials with a combination of excellent mechanical performance and room-temperature self-healing property is still a huge challenge. Here, we report a facile method for the fabrication of dual dynamic cross-linked polymer complexes that simultaneously possess multiple remarkable mechanical properties and room-temperature self-healability by simply mixing polymers that have complementary interactions in solutions. Thanks to the synergistic effects of electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding interactions within their networks, the complexes obtained a superhigh tensile strength of 27.4 MPa and toughness of 110.0 MJ/m3 when compared with other polymers that can self-heal at room temperature. More importantly, the complexes can repair a physical cut in an ∼90% relative humid environment at room temperature with a high healing efficiency of ∼96% because of the dynamic nature of the noncovalent interactions. This method is a simple, low-cost, and widely applicable strategy for the large-scale fabrication of room-temperature self-healing materials that possess superior and controllable mechanical performances.

Abstract
Manipulation of optical paths by three-dimensional (3D) integrated optics with customized stacked building blocks has gained considerable attention. Herein, we present functional thin films with assembly ability for 3D integrated optics based on nanocomposites made of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) embedded in hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) interpolymer complexes (IPCs). We selected H-bonded IPC poly(ethylene oxide) and neutralized poly(acrylic acid) to render films assembly ability without undesired interplay with charge distribution in CNCs. The CNCs can form a stable chiral nematic liquid crystalline phase with long-range orientational order and helical organization. The resulting nanocomposites are characterized with a high elastic modulus of 8.8 GPa and an adhesion strength of 1.35 MPa through reversible intermolecular interactions at the contact interface upon exposure to acidic vapor. Instead, simply stacked into 3D optics, these functional thin films serve as a facile material for providing a conceptually simple approach to assemble 3D integrated optics with different liquid crystalline orderings to manipulate the light polarization state.

Abstract
The hydrogen-bonded polymer complex thin film of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOX) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was fabricated with layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. The film shows exponential growth at early stage and transfers to linear growth after 10 assembling cycles, and the stable thickness increment per assembling cycle in the linear region could be higher than 100 nm. The film growth should be related with polymer chain diffusion during LbL assembly. The effects of assembling time, rinsing time, temperature, pH value, concentration and molecular weight on the thin film growth were investigated. Increasing the assembly time, the temperature and the concentration is favorable to produce the thick film. Prolonging rinsing time is good for preparing smooth film. The film can be constructed below pH 4.5 while the prepared film will not completely dissolve until pH value elevates to 7.0. Molecular weight has a subtle effect on the PEOX/PAA film growth. The PEOX-PAA pair that has a big molecular weight contrast shows fast film growth in the linear region.
