Key Points

To review strategies for enhancing soft polymeric materials, such as hydrogels and waterborne coatings, with high elasticity, controllable viscoelasticity, and autonomous self-healing via photo-responsive supramolecular crosslinking.
Synthesized literature on introducing host-guest inclusion complexes into polymer networks, using light-responsive coumarin derivatives as guest molecules inside host cavities.
Evaluated material behavior in hydrogel systems under light irradiation and examined self-healing performance in water-based coating resin systems.
Light-triggered association and dissociation of coumarin-based host-guest complexes dynamically modulate the viscoelasticity and mechanical stiffness of hydrogels.
Waterborne resin coatings integrated with these supramolecular networks exhibit maintenance-free, autonomous self-healing capabilities upon exposure to light stimuli.
