Mechanosensitive Polymers: Responsive Materials for Smart Applications

What Are Mechanosensitive Polymers?

Mechanosensitive polymers change their properties, such as color or fluorescence, when subjected to mechanical stress.

How Do They Work?

• Undergo structural changes when stressed
• Enable real-time damage detection
• Improve early warning systems

Key Applications

• Use in smart coatings.
• Enhancing impact-resistant materials.
• Monitoring stress in defense applications.
