Force-responsive, self-strengthening polymers refer to those that, under the stimulus of
mechanical forces, have mechanophore groups capable of reacting with additives or …

Herein we address the question of whether a supramolecular finite metal–organic structure
such as a cage or metal–organic polyhedron (MOP) can be synthesized via controlled …

In polymer mechanochemistry, mechanophores are specific molecular units within the
macromolecular backbone that are particularly sensitive to tension. To facilitate …

Transition metal mechanophores exhibiting force-activated spin-crossover are attractive
design targets, yet large-scale discovery of them has not been pursued due in large part to …

Flex-activated mechanophores capable of releasing small molecules utilize bond bending to
facilitate their mechanochemical activation without compromising the overall …

Silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4), being a toxic gas, contains abundant fluorine and silicon
resources. However, at present, the extraction of these resources from SiF4 remains a …

Force-activated functional groups in polymers may inform the design of future smart
