Mechanochemical activation at solid interfaces
… resulting from activation of force-sensitive mechanophore modified interfaces remains largely unexplored. In this dissertation, two different functionalization approaches to molecularly tailor interfacial changes are investigated. First, the influence of SAM tail group chemistry on the …

Control of mechanochromic reactions in a polymer matrix
Mechanophores are force sensitive molecules that undergo productive chemical transformations under a mechanical force including color change, small molecule release, and cross-linking. Productive chemical transformations depend on the intrinsic molecular structure as well as the extrinsic …

Synthesis and Development of Novel Cyclobutane Mechanophores
… mechanically active chemical moieties known as mechanophores. These mechanophores could then be utilized for localized self-healing or self-repair of polymer composites. To date there have been few attempts at systematically investigating the effects of mechanophore structure upon rates of …

Towards reversible mechanochemically triggered strengthening, toughening and assembly of soft materials
The field of mechanochemistry is on many levels inspired by biology, where mechanical force regulates the flux of ions through channels, triggers electrochemical impulses, and activates the rearrangement of protein complexes. A key attribute of many biochemical reactions is reversibility, as this …
