a Schematic illustration of the vapor-triggered bending-recovering behavior of PTMP. b Images of a polymer flower with an open-close transformation upon alternate exposure to ethanol vapor or air (up: daylight, down: UV light). c Images of a soft mechanical arm (~20 mg) lifting a ball (~80 mg) upon exposure to DCM vapor and releasing it at 50 °C.
