The correlation between the mechanical properties of polymer materials and their molecular constituents has led to the development of optical force probes (OFPs) to study unique mechanical behaviors. Polymers exhibit diverse properties, requiring tailored OFP solutions to meet energy, time, and spatial resolution needs. Researchers continue to highlight notable examples and address future challenges in this emerging field.
The correlation of mechanical properties of polymer materials with those of their molecular constituents is the foundation for their holistic comprehension and eventually for improved material designs and syntheses. Over the last decade, optical force probes (OFPs) were developed, shedding light on various unique mechanical behaviors of materials. The properties of polymers are diverse, ranging from soft hydrogels to ultra-tough composites, from purely elastic rubbers to viscous colloidal solutions, and from transparent glasses to super black dyed coatings. Only very recently, researchers started to develop tailored OFP solutions that account for such material requirements in energy (both light and force), in time, and in their spatially detectable resolution. We here highlight notable recent examples and identify future challenges in this emergent field.
