Provided herein are materials, methods of making materials, and methods of use, wherein the materials have switchable adhesive properties. Materials of the present disclosure can reversibly change coloration in conjunction with the changing adhesive state. The films, made from a porous polymer material, can be reversibly changed from a smooth state to a rough state, allowing for reversible and tunable gripping and/or adhesive properties.
