What if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid, melt, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to ...
Top: The mechanophore molecule is inserted within the short, tightly packed units of the polyurethane polymer. Bottom: when a physical force (in this case stretching indicated by the symbol F) is ...
A newly designed robust mechanophore provides early warning against mechanical failure while resisting heat and UV, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo. They combined computational ...
