Abstract
⺠Adaptive materials strategy based on a hybrid architecture. ⺠Surfaces bearing multifunctional nanostructure arrays are embedded in responsive hydrogel. ⺠Hydrogel swelling/contraction reversibly reconfigures nanostructure topography. ⺠Nanostructures and gels are independently tailored for input-output coupling and complex motions. ⺠Versatile platform to create sustainable, self-adapting, self-reporting materials.
