100th Anniversary of Macromolecular Science Viewpoint: Piezoelectrically Mediated Mechanochemical Reactions for Adaptive Materials
ACS MACRO LETTERS(2020)
Abstract
Synthetic polymeric materials with adaptive capabilities triggered by mechanical stimuli could significantly extend their life cycle and boost performance. To achieve this, robust mechanically responsive chemistries must be developed. Piezoelectrically mediated chemistry is an emergent area of interest for this purpose since environmental mechanical energy can be harvested and directly converted to chemical energy. This Viewpoint summarizes state-of-the-art knowledge about mechanochemical reactions mediated by the piezoelectrochemical effect, provides mechanistic insight on reactivity, and describes its application for conducting polymerization and cross-linking reactions. In addition, it highlights current challenges with regard to expanding the chemical repertoire and the transition of such methods to solid matrices.
