a Schematic illustration of the stretching process of the anisotropic polyvinyl alcohol/polyaniline hydrogel-2 (APPH-2). Ex-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations of the APPH-2 stretched at the strain of b, c 100%, d, e 200%, and f, g 300%. Scale bars: b, d, f 10 μm, respectively; c, e, g 4 μm, respectively.
