Bridging pico-to-nanonewtons with a ratiometric force probe for monitoring nanoscale polymer physics before damage

Ryota Kotani et al.

Summary: Understanding the transmission of nanoscale forces is crucial in polymer physics. Physical approaches have limitations in analyzing the local force distribution in condensed environments. This study presents a conformationally flexible dual-fluorescence force probe, enabling ratiometric analysis of the distribution of local forces in a stretched polymer chain network. Chemical control of the probe location reveals a higher local stress concentration at crosslinkers than at main chains, especially in a strain-hardening region.

Excited State Charge-Transfer Complexes Enable Fluorescence Color Changes in a Supramolecular Cyclophane Mechanophore

Shakkeeb Thazhathethil et al.

Summary: This study reports a cyclophane-based supramolecular mechanophore that can indicate mechanical events through changes in its photophysical properties. The mechanophore exhibits orange emission in the absence of force, but mechanical deformation results in a change in emission color and intensity that correlates with the applied stress.

Strain-correlated mechanochromism in different polyurethanes featuring a supramolecular mechanophore

Hanna Traeger et al.

Summary: In this study, a supramolecular mechanophore consisting of covalently connected perylene diimide (PDI) dyes was successfully incorporated into different polyurethane materials, resulting in materials with mechanochromic properties. The choice of isocyanates influenced the formation and crystallization of the hard phase, leading to variations in mechanical properties. In the absence of mechanical force, dominant excimer emission was observed, while deformation caused the mechanophore to unfold, resulting in increased emission intensity.

From Molecules to Polymers-Harnessing Inter- and Intramolecular Interactions to Create Mechanochromic Materials

Hanna Traeger et al.

Summary: The development of mechanophores as building blocks enables the creation of mechanoresponsive and mechanochromic polymer materials for various applications. These materials can detect applied mechanical stresses and strains without breaking covalent bonds, showing reversible and highly sensitive visual mapping of stresses and damage. The design of such materials involves alterations in molecules and polymers without relying on the scission of covalent bonds.

Folded Perylene Diimide Loops as Mechanoresponsive Motifs

Hanna Traeger et al.

Summary: A supramolecular mechanophore capable of indicating deformation through fluorescence color change when integrated into polymers was reported. The mechanophore exhibited an instant response with a linear correlation to applied strain, offering advantages over intermolecular dye aggregates. The experiments showed that looped mechanophores displaying intramolecular excimer formation provide a more pronounced and concentration-independent optical change, directly signaling mechanical processes.

Generation of an Elusive Permanent Merocyanine via a Unique Mechanochemical Reaction Pathway

Molly E. McFadden et al.

Summary: The discovery of a 2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran mechanophore that produces a permanent merocyanine dye upon mechanochemical activation is reported. The irreversible nature of the mechanically generated merocyanine is attributed to a unique reaction involving the scission of an ester C-O bond. This permanent coloration offers new opportunities for sensing, force-recording applications, and fundamental studies.

Mechanically Responsive Luminescent Polymers Based on Supramolecular Cyclophane Mechanophores

Yoshimitsu Sagara et al.

Summary: A new approach to cyclophane-based supramolecular mechanophores is introduced in this study. The mechanically responsive cyclic motif shows a noticeable change in emission color upon deformation, indicating a suppression of excimer-promoting interactions between luminophores. The research suggests that cyclophanes have the potential for developing various supramolecular mechanophores for detecting and visualizing weak forces in polymeric materials or living tissues.

Rotaxane-Based Dual Function Mechanophores Exhibiting Reversible and Irreversible Responses

Tatsuya Muramatsu et al.

Summary: The article introduces rotaxane-based supramolecular mechanophores that exhibit both reversible and irreversible fluorescence changes, triggered by exploiting molecular shuttling and force-induced dethreading. The design allows the luminophore to slide away from the quencher when force is applied, resulting in fluorescence, but if the force is too high, irreversible changes occur when the luminophore-carrying ring slips past the stopper and dethreading happens.
