lowering the responsive threshold pressures of polymer blends.
It demonstrated an efficient way to prepare mechanochromic
polymeric materials by blending mechanoresponsive organic
molecules with commercial polymers.23 Moreover, responding
pressures could be adjusted by changing the concentration of
organic molecules. The performance of polymer blends might
facilitate their practical applications as pressure sensors.
In summary, a visible mechanochromic response of PP under
hydrostatic pressure was achieved with the help of DAC
techniques. PP could keep the mechanical history and had good
color durability, which are important for pressure sensors.
Furthermore, for the first time, different ring-opening threshold
pressures and color change were obtained by changing
substituent groups on the molecular structure. This can serve as
an effective strategy to adjust the mechanochromic properties
for other mechanochromic systems. PP and its analogues could
expand the applied pressure range as mechanochromic sensors,
and PP-NMe2 can be used for pressure calibration being
dispersed in polymer matrix. Most importantly, their ring-
opening reactions were inert to UV lights, so they were not
interfered by UV lights in practical applications.
