Figure 1 Schematic illustration of crystallization-induced mechanofluorescence

Caption

The fluorescence of radicals generated from tetraarylsuccinonitrile would enable visualization of the crystallization. Fluorescence microscopy observations of crystallization-induced mechanofluorescence allow the precise identification of the stress location and in-depth clarification of the polymer crystallization process.
