Although the mechanism of mechanoluminescent (ML) luminogens has been gradually improved, its practical application is severely limited by the randomness of crystal collapse. Some additional groups are utilized to help the molecule build a new equilibrium of orderly molecular arrangement after the force stimuli. The relationship between pressure and ML intensity has been established based on devices fabricated by tPE-2-Th. Furthermore, the flexible and wearable ML device demonstrates potential applications in communications, information storage, and health care.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
