The incorporation of molecular switches into polymer networks has been a powerful approach for the development of functional polymer materials that display macroscopic actuation and function enabled directly by molecular changes. However, such materials sometimes require harsh conditions to perform their functions, and the design of new molecular photoswitches that can function under physiological conditions is highly needed. Here, we report the design and synthesis of a spiropyridine-based photoswitchable hydrogel that exhibits light-driven actuation at physiological pH. Owing to its high p Ka, spiropyridine maintains its ring-open protonated form at neutral pH, and the resulting hydrogel remains in a swollen state. Upon irradiation with visible light, the ring closure of spiropyridine leads to a decrease in the charge and a reduction in the volume of the hydrogel. The contracted gel could spontaneously recover to its expanding state in the dark, and this process is highly dynamic and reversible when the light is switched on and off. Furthermore, the hydrogel shows switchable fluorescence in response to visible light. Bending deformation is observed in the hydrogel thin films upon irradiation from one side. Importantly, the independence of this spiropyridine hydrogel from the acidic environment makes it biotolerant and shows excellent biocompatibility. This biocompatible spiropyridine hydrogel might have important biorelated applications in the future.
