The Mechanoresponsive Materials themed issue is now online. Here is Christoph Weder’s Editorial. The front cover illustration features a paper on Alkyl chain length effects on solid-state difluoroboron β-diketonate mechanochromic luminescence by Cassandra Fraser and co-workers. The inside front cover highlights a Feature Article on The physical chemistry of mechanoresponsive polymers by Timothy Kucharski and Roman Boulatov.
The issue also includes 6 Hot Articles:
