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...
