Taking advantages of the impressing behaviors of room‐temperature phosphorescence
(RTP), the explorations in RTP materials are not only limited to efficient emission and …

The development of mechanophores as building blocks that serve as predefined weak
linkages has enabled the creation of mechanoresponsive and mechanochromic polymer …

Mechanochromic mechanophores are reporter molecules that indicate mechanical events
through changes of their photophysical properties. Supramolecular mechanophores in …

Tracking the behavior of mechanochromic molecules provides valuable insights into force
transmission and associated microstructural changes in soft materials under load. Herein …

The development of a multicolor mechanochromic polymer/silica composite is achieved by
using two distinct types of mechanochromophores. The multicolor mechanochromism of the …
