Abstract
Soft robotic system, a new era of material science, is rapidly developing with advanced processing technology in soft matters, featured with biomimetic nature. An important bottom-up approach is through the implementation of molecular machines into polymeric materials, however, the synchronized molecular motions, acumination of strain across multiple length-scales, and amplification into macroscopic actuations remained highly challenging. This review presents the significances, key design strategies, and outlook of the hierarchical supramolecular systems of molecular machines to develop novel types of supramolecular-based soft robotic systems.

Abstract
Hydrogel is a smart material with a three-dimensional network structure and has been widely used in various fields due to its good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and modification. Photosensitive hydrogel is a smart hydrogel, and its amenability to remote, precise control, and flexible and convenient regulation of stimulating factors make it an ideal candidate for use in fields such as biological materials, drug carriers, and sensors. In this review, we discuss the structure, mechanisms, design principles, and bioapplications of photosensitive hydrogels as developed in recent years. Finally, their potential for development and potential future challenges are outlined.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive supramolecular assemblies controlling macroscopic transformations with high structural fluidity, i.e., foam properties, have attractive prospects for applications in soft materials ranging from biomedical systems to industrial processes, e.g., textile coloring. However, identifying the key processes for the amplification of molecular motion to a macroscopic level response is of fundamental importance for exerting the full potential of macroscopic structural transformations by external stimuli. Herein, we demonstrate the control of dynamic supramolecular assemblies in aqueous media and as a consequence their macroscopic foam properties, e.g., foamability and foam stability, by large geometrical transformations of dual light/heat stimuli-responsive molecular motor amphiphiles. Detailed insight into the reversible photoisomerization and thermal helix inversion at the molecular level, supramolecular assembly transformations at the microscopic level, and the stimuli-responsive foam properties at the macroscopic level, as determined by UV-vis absorption and NMR spectroscopies, electron microscopy, and foamability and in situ surface tension measurements, is presented. By selective use of external stimuli, e.g., light or heat, multiple states and properties of macroscopic foams can be controlled with very dilute aqueous solutions of the motor amphiphiles (0.2 weight%), demonstrating the potential of multiple stimuli-responsive supramolecular systems based on an identical molecular amphiphile and providing opportunities for future soft materials.

Abstract
Photoresponsive liquid crystal (LC) physical gels have attracted more and more attention because of the nature of strong response via light stimulus. Although many efforts on the breaking and recovering of physical gels through photoisomerization have been focused, fast electro-optical response and high mechanical properties even upon light irradiations are difficult to achieve at the same time. In this work, two kinds of azobenzene-containing gelators (AG1 and AG2) with different terminal groups were designed and synthesized. Both gelators could induce the nematic LC P0616A self-assemble into anisotropic phase-separated LC physical gels at low contents. Their phase-transition behavior, thermal stability, microstructure, and mechanical strength were systematically studied. Compared with AG2 in P0616A, the P0616A/AG1 gels showed better mechanical property. When the gelator content was above 3 wt %, the P0616A/AG1 gels possessed good self-supporting ability with a storage modulus more than 104 Pa. Thus, the photoresponsive electro-optical properties and structures of P0616A/AG1 gels were focused in detail. It was surprising that the electro-optical response speed of the P0616A/AG1 gels could be promoted upon UV irradiation. In particular, the decay time (τoff) was only about half when compared with the initial state, whereas the gels still exhibited good self-supporting ability; also the network of the LC physical gels had no change at macro- and microstructural levels. These exciting results would open a door for the application of this material in electro-optical devices.

Abstract
The construction of stimuli-responsive materials by using naturally occurring molecules as building blocks has received increasing attention owing to their bioavailability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Herein, a symmetrical azobenzene-functionalized natural glycyrrhizic acid (trans-GAG) was synthesized and could form stable supramolecular gels in DMSO/H2 O and MeOH/H2 O. Owing to trans-cis isomerization, this gel exhibited typical light-responsive behavior that led to a reversible gel-sol transition accompanied by a variation in morphology and rheology. Additionally, this trans-GAG gel displayed a distinct injectable self-healing property and outstanding biocompatibility. This work provides a simple yet rational strategy to fabricate stimuli-responsive materials from naturally occurring, eco-friendly molecules.

Abstract
Cyanostilbene modified with dimethylaniline (CMD) could self-assemble into vesicles and fibrous morphologies depending on the solvophobic properties. Furthermore, morphology of well-defined nanostructures could be changed with enhanced emission triggered by the photo-isomerization of cyanostilbene. The present system has potential for building luminescent color conversion materials.

Abstract
In the quest to engineer the nanofibrillar morphology of folic acid (F) gel, poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-styrene) (PVPS) is judiciously integrated as a polymeric additive because of its potential to form H-bonding and π-stacking with F. The hybrid gels are designated as F-PVPSx gels, where x denotes the amount of PVPS (mg) added in 2 mL of F gel (0.3%, w/v). The assistance of PVPS in the gelation of F is manifested from the drop in critical gelation concentration and increased fiber diameter and branching of F-PVPSx gels compared to that of F gel. PVPS induces a magnificent improvement of mechanical properties: a 500 times increase of storage modulus and ∼62 times increase of yield stress in the F-PVPS5 gel compared to the F gel. The complex modulus also increases with increasing PVPS concentration with a maximum in F-PVPS5 gel. Creep recovery experiments suggest PVPS induced elasticity in the otherwise viscous F gel. The fluorescence intensity of F-PVPSx gels at first increases with increasing PVPS concentration showing maxima at F-PVPS5 gel and then slowly decreases. Gelation is monitored by time-dependent fluorescence spectroscopy, and it is observed that F and F-PVPSx gels exhibit perfectly opposite trend; the former shows a sigmoidal decrease in fluorescence intensity during gelation, but the latter shows a sigmoidal increase. The gelation rate constants calculated from Avrami treatment on the time-dependent fluorescence data manifest that PVPS effectively enhances the gelation rate showing a maximum for F-PVPS5 gel. The hybrid gel exhibit 5 orders increase of dc conductivity than that of F-gel showing semiconducting nature in the current-voltage plot. The Nyquist plot in impedance spectra of F-PVPS5 xerogel exhibit a depressed semicircle with a spike at lower frequency region, and the equivalent circuit represents a complex combination of resistance-capacitance circuits attributed to the hybrid morphology of the gel fibers.

Abstract
Supramolecular chirality defines chirality at the supramolecular level, and is generated from the spatial arrangement of component molecules assembling through non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, van der Waals interactions, π-π stacking, hydrophobic interactions and so on. During the formation of low molecular weight gels (LMWGs), one kind of fascinating soft material, one frequently encounters the phenomenon of chirality as well as chiral nanostructures, either from chiral gelators or even achiral gelators. A view of gelation-induced supramolecular chirality will be very helpful to understand the self-assembly process of the gelator molecules as well as the chiral structures, the regulation of the chirality in the gels and the development of the "smart" chiral materials such as chiroptical devices, catalysts and chiral sensors. It necessitates fundamental understanding of chirality transfer and amplification in these supramolecular systems. In this review, recent progress in gelation-induced supramolecular chirality is discussed.

Abstract
Multiazobenzene compounds, hexakis-O-[4-(phenylazo)phenoxyalkylcarboxyl]-D-mannitols and hexakis-O-[4-(4-hexylphenylazo)phenoxyalkylcarboxyl]-D-mannitols, exhibit photochemically reversible liquefaction and solidification at room temperature. Their photochemical and thermal phase transitions were investigated in detail through thermal analysis, absorption spectroscopy, and dynamic viscoelasticity measurements, and were compared with those of other sugar-alcohol derivatives. Tensile shear strength tests were performed to determine the adhesions of the compounds sandwiched between two glass slides to determine whether the compounds were suitable for application as adhesives. The adhesions were varied by alternately irradiating the compounds with ultraviolet and visible light to photoinduce phase transitions. The azobenzene hexyl tails, lengths of the methylene spacers, and differences in the sugar-alcohol structures affected the photoresponsive properties of the compounds.

Abstract
Triblock copolymer PE6200 (PEO(10.5)-PPO(30)-PEO(10.5)) in aqueous solution can undergo a transition from an isotropic micellar phase to an anisotropic lamellar phase at a specific temperature. Based on this feature, the self-assembly behavior of a benzenetetracarboxylic acid based hydrogelator in aqueous solutions of PE6200 has been investigated. The results of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements indicated that the hydrogelator self-assembled into stable three-dimensional network structures below 50 °C. In the range of 50-60 °C, a transition from three-dimensional to two-dimensional self-assembly was observed, which can be attributed to the fact that PE6200 undergoes a transition from an isotropic micellar phase to an anisotropic lamellar phase. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and varying temperature laser Raman spectroscopy further confirmed the thermodynamically controllable transition of 3D to 2D self-assembly. Controlling the self-assembly by utilizing the phase behavior of triblock copolymers is a novel strategy.
