COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 capable of causing mild to severe infections
in humans. Since its first appearance in China in December 2019, the pandemic has spread …

Mechanochemistry provides a unique approach to investigate macroscopic deformation,
failure and healing of polymer materials. The development of mechanophores–molecular …

Mechanochemistry describes diverse phenomena in which mechanical load affects
chemical reactivity. The fuzziness of this definition means that it includes processes as …

Traditional chemotherapy suffers from severe toxicity and side effects that limit its maximum
application in cancer therapy. To overcome this challenge, an ideal treatment strategy would …

Living organisms share the ability to grow various microstructures on their surface to achieve
functions. Here we present a force stamp method to grow microstructures on the surface of …

The use of mechanical forces to chemically transform polymers dates back decades. In
recent years, the use of mechanochemistry to direct constructive transformations in polymers …

Light has been, and continues to be, one of the most fundamental and indispensable
elements to life and society. Generally, it can be produced in the process from a higher …

As one of important approaches of light emission, chemiluminescence (CL) induced by
chemical reactions has evoked considerable interest for its potential applications in …

Polymer networks, which are materials composed of many smaller components—referred to
as “junctions” and “strands”—connected together via covalent or non‐covalent …

Real-time monitoring of strain/stress in polymers is a big challenge to date. Herein, we for
the first time report an ESIPT (excited-state intramolecular proton transfer)-based …
