Mechanoresponsive material of successively releasing guest molecules has been developed. The material consists of supramolecular nanocontainer containing guest molecules encapsulated by metal-phenolic complexes generated from tannic acid and iron ions. Guest molecules release was triggered by applying ultrasound causing the complexes to be broken. Multiple application of compressive stress was examined on the material hybridized with elastomeric polyurethane film. We also assemble the material along with alginate hydrogel to examine guest release by applying ultrasound and stretching test. The results indicate that the difference on mechanical stimuli applied has great influence on the amount of guest molecules released. The effective and efficient assembly method makes these hybrids material potential candidates for material sciences application.
