Typical multimechanophore polymers (MMPs) are comprised of numerous mechanophores (force-responsive moieties) distributed throughout the backbone of linear polymers. We have developed a new MMP design based on graft polymers with mechanophores linking each arm to the backbone. By utilizing maleimide-anthracene cycloadducts, polymeric species containing anthracene were released from the parent polymer, enabling facile quantification of mechanophore activation. With pulsed ultrasound experiments, we observed that mechanophore activation was dependent on the arm length (a faster rate with longer arms), and we observed that 85% of the polystyrene (PS) arms underwent scission (64% specifically at the mechanophore site) for a graft polymer with 23 kDa arms. Solid-state activation was also investigated with hand-grinding experiments. Fast reactions were observed, with up to 96% of PS arms undergoing scission and 70-75% of mechanophores being activated, for all arm lengths studied. Multimechanophore graft polymers provide important insight into the distribution of forces in topologically complex polymers and may enable the development of new mechanoresponsive materials.
