Mechanophore is a class of molecules that contains a part that mechanically responds to external stimuli. In particular, mechanochromophore changes color by bond scission, pericyclic reaction, and isomerizations when exposed to mechanical force, which has potentials for direct sensing and visualization of applied mechanical strain. In this work, we introduce mechano-active molecules into branched polymers as a core to study stepwise mechanical strain sensing depends on branches generation in hydrogel system. |
