Viscoelasticity, reconfiguration ability, compliance, and autonomous self-healability of the dynamic supramolecular networks. a Frequency-dependent storage (G’) and loss (G”) moduli of the supramolecular polyelectrolyte hydrogel (the monomer mass ratio of AA: DMAPS is 4:1, equilibrated in 4 M NaCl). b A photo of the as-prepared transparent hydrogel; it is reshaped to adapt to the irregular surfaces of a prosthetic hand and shows compliance with the prosthetic finger’s locomotion (scale bar: 2 cm). c The direct observation of the reconfiguration and autonomous self-healing of the dynamic networks by time-resolved fluorescence microscopic images (scale bar: 20 μm). The white arrows indicate the chains in dynamic networks interdiffuse across the crack. d Schematic illustration of the dynamic process
