A reversible stress-responsive material, a preparation method, and a use thereof are provided. The reversible stress-responsive material prepared by the present disclosure has the property of real-time reversible force response at room temperature. When used with crosslinked plastic (high Tg) and rubber (low Tg) polymer materials, the reversible stress-responsive material can significantly enhance the mechanical strength and ductility of covalently cross-linked polymers. In the present disclosure, the triazolinedione (TAD)-indole click chemistry with the force-induced reversible property is used to construct a force-reversible crosslinked polymer material, and such a force-induced reversible crosslinking method can achieve the breakage and re-forming of covalent crosslinking points at room temperature in a solid state without any external stimuli other than the ambient temperature. This room-temperature force-induced reversible C—N covalent crosslinking can be regarded as an innovative approach to designing a high-toughness polymer material.
