Stress-Responsive Inorganic Material Reinforced Composites Via Functionalizing the Inorganic Materials
Stress-Responsive Inorganic Material Reinforced Composites Via Functionalizing the Inorganic Materials Background Reducing catastrophic structural failures using early damage detection methods is crucial in many industries. One method of achieving this goal is through mechanochemistry. Mechanochemistry is the study of stress-responsive molecular units...

In-situ damage detection system for mechanpohore-embedded fiber reinforced composites
Composites often fail due to mechanical wear, abrasion, friction and stress they experience during use. Mechanophores have emerged as a strategy for detecting damage caused by these mechanical loads. Mechanophores embedded in composites undergo a chemical reaction when significant damage occurs and typically change to a fluorescent color as a signal...
