Recent years have witnessed tremendous progress and developments of the
photoswitchable spiropyran-based polymers, owing to distinctive and particular …

Aliphatic polycarbonates (aPCs) have become increasingly popular as functional materials
due to their biocompatibility and capacity for on‐demand degradation. Advances in …

For conventional anticorrosion coatings, it is challenging to simultaneously report and repair
two failure stages involving coating damage and interfacial metal corrosion. Thus, it leads to …

Over the past decades, it became clear that next to heat and light, pericyclic reactions can be
induced mechanochemically when the reacting motifs are embedded as latent force …

In recent years, polymer mechanochemistry has evolved as a methodology to provide
insights into the action‐reaction relationships of polymers and polymer‐based materials and …

Herein, we report a novel strategy for introducing a luminophore into generic polymers
facilitated by mechanical stimulation. In this study, polymeric mechanoradicals were formed …

Polymer mechanochemistry uses mechanical forces to break and manipulate chemical
bonds, driving a functional response in the material of choice, thus making it an ideal …

Herein, we introduce a variety of azopolyesters (azobenzene‐based polyesters) with
remarkable intrinsic crystallinity and photoinduced reversible solid‐to‐liquid transition …

Advanced functional polymeric materials based on spiropyrans (SPs) feature multi-stimuli
responsive characteristics, such as a change in color with exposure to light (photochromism) …

Mechanical force as a type of stimuli for smart materials has obtained much attention in the
past decade. Color‐changing materials in response to mechanical stimuli have shown great …
