abstract = {Stimuli-responsive actuators are candidates for the
development of soft robots due to their shape deformation
and environmental adaptation capabilities. Adaptation to
environmental stimuli not only enables complex shape
reprogramming but also benefits the recovery of mechanical
injuries of the soft actuators. Nevertheless, reports on
soft actuators that integrate shape-reprogramming and
injury-healing functions into a monolithic actuating
material through facile fabrication strategies remain
scarce. Herein, a stimuli-responsive and healable actuator
is developed via layer-by-layer casting of two
stimuli-responsive materials with complementary properties.
Upon specific stimulation, these two materials reorganize
their structural network at the nano- and microscales and
heal. The resulting actuator exhibits a robust
photo-responsive actuating strength due to the asymmetric
volumetric responses of the two layers. Importantly, the
whole actuator can be healed with the aid of a sequential
heating-humidifying–drying treatment, achieving excellent
healing efficiency in both mechanical strength $(72\%)$ and
actuating strength $(95\%).$ Moreover, the initial actuation
modes can be restored and diversified through humidifying or
heating-assisted welding procedures, respectively. This work
demonstrates a facile strategy to construct reprogrammable
actuators with healing and welding abilities stimulated by
two environmental stimuli and provides a platform for
developing adaptable materials to a changing environment.},
