Cover Story: We present a reprocessable, reusable, self-healing polymeric adsorbent for removing fluorinated pollutants from water. The copolymer hydrogel includes fluorophilic and cationic segments for strong binding with perfluorinated pollutants, achieving rapid and quantitative removal via fluorophilic and electrostatic interactions. A dynamic disulfide-based crosslinker enables self-healing through disulfide exchange and allows for repeated use across multiple adsorption–desorption cycles. The adsorbent is reprocessable, with cleaved crosslinks forming linear copolymers that reassemble into a hydrogel as needed. A form-switching capability is demonstrated by self-assembly into fluorinated micelles, providing an alternative pollutant-removal form. View this paper
