Innenrücktitelbild: Transient and Dissipative Host–Guest Hydrogels Regulated by Consumption of a Reactive Chemical Fuel (Angew. Chem. 11/2023).

The temporary nature of this fuel-directed change in the interacting molecules causes the gels that are formed from this fuel to have a limited lifetime, autonomously converting back to their original pre-gel state over time without additional user input.
