Specialized plant tissues, such as the epidermis of a leaf covered with stomata, consist of soft materials with deformability and electrochemical properties to achieve specific functions in response to various environmental stimuli. Stimulus-responsive hydrogels with electrochemical properties are good candidates for imitating such special functionalities in nature and thus have great potential in a wide range of academic and industrial applications. However, hydrogel-incorporated conductive materials are usually mechanically rigid, which limits their application in other fields. In addition, the fabrication technology of structured functional hydrogels has low reproducibility due to the required multistep processing. Here, inspired by nature, specifically the stimulus-responsive functionalities of plants, a new thermo-responsive multifunctional hybrid membrane (HM) is synthesized through the in situ hybridization of conductive poly(pyrrole) (PPy) on a photopolymerized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) matrix. The morphological and electrical properties of the fabricated HM are investigated to characterize various aspects of its multiple functions. In terms of morphology, the HM can be easily fabricated into various structures by smartly utilizing photopolymerization patterning, and it exhibits thermo-responsive deformability. In terms of functionality, it exhibits various electrical and charge responses to thermal stimuli. This simple and efficient fabrication method can be used as a promising platform for fabricating a variety of functional devices.

专门的植物组织（例如，覆盖有气孔的叶子的表皮）由具有可变形性和电化学特性的柔软材料组成，以响应各种环境刺激而实现特定功能。具有电化学性质的刺激响应水凝胶是在自然界中模仿此类特殊功能的良好候选者，因此在广泛的学术和工业应用中具有巨大的潜力。然而，掺有水凝胶的导电材料通常在机械上是刚性的，这限制了它们在其他领域的应用。另外，由于需要多步处理，结构化功能性水凝胶的制造技术具有低再现性。在这里，受自然界的启发，特别是植物的刺激响应功能，导电聚吡咯（PPy）在光聚合聚（N-异丙基丙烯酰胺）（PNIPAm）基质上的原位杂交。研究了制成的HM的形态和电学性质，以表征其多种功能的各个方面。就形态而言，通过巧妙地利用光聚合图案化，可以容易地将HM制成各种结构，并且具有热响应变形性。就功能而言，它表现出对热刺激的各种电和电荷响应。这种简单而有效的制造方法可以用作制造各种功能器件的有前途的平台。
