Specifically, the robust plastic would transform into a dough-like viscoelastic state after full hydration, which is highly reversible. The dough could be facilely processed into arbitrary shapes with diverse means, thus endowing the plastic with low-energy-consuming reprocessing ability. It is revealed that such a hydroplastic behavior is rooted in water-induced “sea island” to bicontinuous phase separation transformation.
