“…Recently, the mechanochromic materials, which can change their colors under the applied force, have drawn much attention. They could be produced by introducing the periodic structure, , the aggregation of dyes, , the incorporation of the mechanophores, − and so forth. Among them, the materials produced by incorporating the mechanophores are homogeneous, through the incorporation of the mechanophores in the polymer network, such as spiropyran, − rhodamine, − 1,2-dioxetane, − diarylbibenzofuranone, − Diels-Alder adducts, , and so forth.…”
