Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201501448-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A synergistic approach</bold> is described to engineer supramolecular hybrid materials based on metal‐organic frameworks, encompassing HKUST‐1 nanoparticles formed in situ, coexisting with an electrically conducting gel fiber network. The following findings are made: i) multistimuli‐responsive structural transformation via reversible sol–gel switching and ii) radical conversion of a soft hybrid gel into a mechanically malleable, viscoelastic matter. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2cr1z8n5" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
