Hybrid Mechanoresponsive Polymer Wires Under Force Activation. (20th December 2012) - Feng, Hongbin
Abstract Force activation is triggered in a stretched polymer wire with color changes produced as a consequence of the molecules undergoing structural and conformational changes. A markedly increased efficiency of force activation is achieved by decreasing the diameter of the wires. The hybrid mechanosensitive polymer wire can function as micro‐ and nanoscale force sensor.
