    Abstract: Hydrogels with multi-environmental tolerance have received widespread attention and are expected to be used as smart materials in a variety of environments (for example, water, oil, freezing and drying)
    .
    However, the macroscopic changes and anti-swelling mechanism of organic hydrogels in different solvents and their corresponding applications have not been fully utilized
    .
    Recently, the team of Associate Researcher Chen Yujie/Associate Researcher Li Hua of Shanghai Jiaotong University has prepared ionic organic hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties and unique behaviors (information recognition and encryption) and mechanical sensing in a variety of environments
    .
    The prepared organic hydrogels show obvious transparent changes in different solvents due to microphase separation in poor solvents and swelling in appropriate solvents, and can be regarded as dynamic information storage for recording and encrypting information Device
    .
    In addition, due to the interaction between water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), organic hydrogels show remarkable freezing resistance (-90 to 20°C) and moisture retention (76% after 15 days)
    .
    In addition, ion conductive hydrogels show excellent human motion detection and physiological signal response in freezing, drying conditions and oil or water environments, and show stable mechanical sensing performance
    .
    It is foreseeable that the design strategy and mechanism research of organic hydrogels may be expected to be used as biosensors and information recognition platforms in harsh environments
    .
