Abstract:

The design and synthesis of multi-mechanophore polymers(MMPs) have provided great opportunities for observing, quantifying, and exploiting mechanochemical transformations, and thus promoted the development of polymer mechanochemistry. In this contribution, we make an overview of representative synthetic methodologies for MMPs, including post-polymerization modification, step-growth polymerization, ring-opening metathesis polymerization, and living/controlled radical polymerization. The characteristics, advantages and applicable systems of these methods are discussed, respectively. The aim of this review is to open a new avenue towards the synthesis and applications of diverse mechano-responsive polymers and materials.

Key words: Multi-mechanophore polymer, Post-polymerization modification, Step-growth polymerization, Ring-opening metathesis polymerization, Living/controlled radical polymerization
