Fig. 1: Schematic of the RHOCF.

a Schematic illustration of architectures of the RHOCF. b Photos of the precursor solution and the transparent RHOCF. Scale bar: 1 cm. c Optical images of the RHOCF lifting a 1000 g weight. Scale bar: 2 cm (left) and 0.3 cm (right). d Images showing the lifting of a 500 g weight via the RHOCF adhesive. Scale bar: 1 cm. e The twisted RHOCF was placed into liquid nitrogen and still maintained its transparent and intact at −196 °C. Additionally, the RHOCF rapidly recovered to its initial state upon returning to ambient temperature. Scale bar: 1 cm.
