A multifunctional, responsive functional layer (5) on a substrate, particularly textiles, paper and plastic materials, comprises at least one first and a second functional component (1, 2), of which at least one of the second functional components (2) meets the chemical-functional and constitutional requirements for responsive behavior and thereby can be reversibly switched by an outer stimulus. The first and second functional components (1, 2) differ with respect to the intrinsically specified properties thereof and are matched to each other, wherein at least one of the functional components on the substrate (3) is present as a physical-chemical compound. The invention further relates to methods for producing the multifunctional, responsive functional layer (5), which enable the combination of functions, such as moisture management, soil release, antistatic, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, oleophobicity, controlled release, and conductivity.
