N2 - Mechanically-induced reactivity is a promising means for designing self sensing and autonomous materials. Mechanically sensitive chemical groups called mechanophores can be covalently linked into polymers in order to trigger specific chemical reactions upon mechanical loading. Here, glassy PMMA and rubbery PMA each linked with mechanochromic molecules, are used as representative polymer architectures for building both understanding and quantitative models of mechanophore activation in bulk polymers.
