“…18,57 Most supramolecular adhesives and polymeric adhesives are either organic solvent-soluble or their adhesion effects are severely attenuated in organic solvents because of swelling. 6,16 These drawbacks not only largely restrict the applications of adhesive materials but also greatly hinder the development of material processing. The natural sugars and acids used in this study are insoluble in a variety of common organic solvents, including acetone (Ace), acetonitrile (MeCN), tetrahydrofuran (THF), dichloromethane (DCM), and ethyl acetate (EA).…”

“…4,5 Supramolecular polymer structures and hydrogen bond formation give rise to the cohesive and adhesive properties. [6][7][8][9] However, water can be easily removed from the sugar-water supramolecular polymeric systems during the practical adhesion process, thus leading to a significant attenuation of adhesion strength or adhesion effect. 10,11 With the rapid development of artificial polymeric adhesives in the past century, natural adhesives were no longer the research focus of modern adhesives.…”

Natural adhesives have been widely replaced by industrial adhesives made from petroleum-based products. Compared with that of traditional natural adhesives, modern industrial adhesives show improved adhesion performance. However, the drawbacks of modern adhesives, including toxicity and nonbiodegradability, drive the need for new and high-performance adhesive materials from renewable and biocompatible natural feedstock. In this study, a new family of acid-sugar adhesive materials exhibiting excellent and long-term adhesion effects was developed inspired by the concept of deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The supramolecular polymerization between natural sugars and acids gave rise to both strong cohesion and adhesion properties. Moreover, high resistance to organic solvents is an advantage of acid-sugar supramolecular adhesive materials. This study not only dramatically expands the applications of DESs but also sheds light on the development of supramolecular adhesive materials as promising alternatives to polymeric adhesives.

“…Polymers, representing an important platform for the combination of nanoscale chemistry and macroscopic objects, have been widely researched for potential applications in material science . The introduction of stimuli‐responsive molecular machine units into polymer systems to fabricate novel materials with advantageous properties such as self‐healability, high stretchability, and recyclability has drawn increased attention, while the introduction of responsive units may also endow these systems with controllable regulation …”

Biomolecular machines are widely present in nature, especially in complex living organisms, and are involved in important biological processes. Inspired by nature and increasingly mature synthetic technologies, a series of artificial molecular machines (AMMs) that exhibit similar processes and functions as biomolecular counterparts have been developed, and to date, some dramatic achievements have been obtained. Herein, the use of AMMs in smart systems and materials with controllable regulations and interesting functions are summarized, presenting the specific micro‐ to macroscale applications in solid surface modification, transmembrane transport, smart catalysts, liquid crystals, artificial molecular muscles, and stimuli‐responsive polymers. The challenges of developing novel complex AMMs with intelligent functions are discussed, and some potential solutions are proposed.
