Mechano-Chemiluminescent Hydrogel for Sustained Stress Visualization Under Mechanical Equilibrium

Abstract

Front Cover: An unprecedented mechano-chemiluminescent hydrogel visualizes stress distribution under energetically equilibrated static loads. Unlike conventional mechanoluminescent materials limited to dynamic force detection, this system enables continuous light emission through mechanical switching of enzyme activity, addressing critical challenges in sustained stress monitoring applications.
