Mechanophoric Composites (C14*)

在这个项目中，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高分子。这种聚合物可以根据它所承受的机械应变改变颜色，从而存储有关它所承受的机械载荷的信息。它将通过玻璃纤维作为第一硬相，并涂覆第二硬相，即氧化锌网状网络来实现。这些纤维将嵌入并相互渗透到具有机械亲和性的聚合物基体中。为此，新的聚合物和嵌入原理将在新材料的详细表征的基础上发展。

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.
