Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, we investigated the development of mechano-chromic elastomers containing non-covalent, but chemically stable interlocked bonds at the cross-linking points. Building upon the use of stress-responsive properties (sliding elasticity) of polyrotaxane network, we planned the creation of new soft materials bearing both rotaxane-cross-linking points and functional units. As a result, we developed new polymeric materials with unique stress-responsivity. We also achieved the development of various stimuli-responsive rotaxane-based components and their related materials.
