Mechanophores (mechanoresponsive molecules) offer great promises for the development
of smart force-responsive materials. The activity of a mechanophore can be tuned by altering …

Mechanical bonds are known to efficiently absorb mechanical energy at low forces, but their
behavior at high forces is unknown. Here we investigate the impact of a mechanical bond on …

The assembly of a kinetically trapped daisy chain polymer under redox control has been
achieved with a self-complementary monomer using an energy ratchet mechanism. The …
