Mechanophoric Composites (C14*)

在该项目中，目标是开发一种新的玻璃纤维增强聚合物陶瓷复合材料（GFRPCC），其中结构的聚合物部分将包含额外的机械聚合物。这种聚合物可以根据其所承受的机械应变改变其颜色，从而存储有关其所承受的机械载荷的信息。这将通过玻璃纤维作为第一硬相来实现，所述第一硬相涂覆有第二硬相，氧化锌网状网络。这些纤维将嵌入并相互渗透到机械聚合物基质中。为此，将在详细表征新材料的基础上开发新型聚合物和嵌入原理。

In this project, the goal is to develop a new glass-fiber reinforced polymer-ceramic composite (GFRPCC), in which the polymer part of the structure will contain an additional mechanophoric polymer. Such a polymer can change its color based on the mechanic strain it has been under, thus storing the information about the mechanical load it was exposed to. It will be realized by glass fibers as first hard phase which are coated with a second hard phase, a zinc oxide mesh type of network. Those fibers will be embedded and interpenetrated into the mechanophoric polymer matrix. For that, novel polymers and embedding principles will be developed on the basis of a detailed characterization of the novel material.
