چکیده
The transformation of chemical energy into mechanical energy is elementary in our lives, not only moving cars and airplanes, but pumping blood in our bodies and moving our eyeballs as we read these lines. The reverse action, defined as mechanochemistry [1–3], is to make chemical transformations using mechanical force, and finding simple examples may be challenging for people unfamiliar with

Masked cyanoacrylates unveiled by mechanical force.
Mechanical damage of polymers is often a destructive and irreversible process. However, desirable outcomes may be achieved by controlling the location of chain cleavage events through careful design and incorporation of mechanically active chemical moieties known as mechanophores. It is possible that mechanophores can be used to generate reactive intermediates that can autopolymerize or cross-l...
متن کاملMechanochemically Responsive Viscoelastic Elastomers
Mechanochemically responsive (MCR) polymers have been designed to possess unconventional properties such as changing colors, self-healing, and releasing catalysts under deformation. These properties of MCR polymers stem from a class of molecules, referred to as mechanophores, whose chemical reactions can be controlled by mechanical forces. Although extensive studies have been devoted to the syn...
متن کاملDevelopment of antimicrobial chitosan based nanofiber dressings for wound healing applications
Objective(s): Chitosan based composite fine fibers were successfully produced via a centrifugal spinning technology. This study evaluates the ability of the composites to function as scaffolds for cell growth while maintaining an antibacterial activity. Materials and methods: Two sets of chitosan fiber composites were prepared, one filled with anti-microbial silver nanoparticles and another on...
متن کاملW 911 NF - 07 - 1 - 0330 Very Large Arrays of Bipolar Electrodes
This project focuses on understanding the basic principles of bipolar electrode (BPE) arrays for chem/bio sensing applications. During this project period, we developed a self-powered, microelectrochemical sensing platform that reports its output using an electrochromic display. Additionally, we have demonstrated a new method to fabricate very inexpensive BPE devices in less than one hour using...
متن کاملMechanics of mechanochemically responsive elastomers
Mechanochemically responsive (MCR) polymers have been synthesized by incorporating mechanophores – molecules whose chemical reactions are triggered by mechanical force – into conventional polymer networks. Deformation of the MCR polymers applies force on the mechanophores and triggers their reactions, which manifest as phenomena such as changing colors, varying fluorescence and releasing molecu...
