Key Points

Mechanochromism enables materials to change color under stress, providing visible indicators for structural integrity.
The study identifies strain-dependent multicolor changes, allowing for distinct visual outputs linked to varying stress levels.
Using multimodal mechanophores in polymeric materials may enhance the functionality of stress-sensing applications.
The findings suggest potential improvements in monitoring tools and smart materials for practical engineering applications.

Implication

This research shows that multicolor mechanochromism enables enhanced stress-sensing in polymeric materials, suggesting novel applications in monitoring environments.

Abstract

Multimodal mechanophores are important targets for the design of complex stress-sensing materials due to their multicolor mechanochromic properties, which potentially enable discrete visual outputs under varying levels of stress and/or...
