A hybrid supramolecular polymeric hydrogel . was fabricated through a host–guest interaction between a host cyclodextrin polymer and a guest α‐bromonaphthalene polymer, and mixed with 6‐thio‐β‐cyclodextrin‐modified gold nanoparticles in aqueous solution. This hybrid system showed a rapid self‐healing property in air and quite a large rheological enhancement. This study supplied a simple approach to fabricate stable and high‐performance hybrid supramolecular hydrogels, which could also broaden the application of hybrid materials in various fields.
