Abstract
Developing new materials that could identify fingerprint using the naked eye and observe the level 3 microscopic details is challenging. Here, we designed a novel hydrochromic and piezochromic dual-responsive optical film, which achieved the visual transparency transition. The performances of hydrochromic and piezochromic responses from high transparency to opaque whiteness were attributed to the introduction of poloxamer. The hygroscopic swelling of the disordered micelles led to light scattering, causing the hydrochromic response. The piezochromic response may be ascribed to the microcracks in the fragments of poloxamer crystals, which changed the refractive index of light. The fascinating combination of hydrochromic and piezochromic response was effectively applied in fingerprint identification. Hydrochromic response accurately recognized sweat pores, and piezochromic response could gradually reveal the ridges and valleys according to the different color of imprinted fingerprints. The film could identify fake fingerprints based on the differences in sweat pores between fake fingerprints and living fingers. More importantly, the film could easily detected not only the clear ridges but also the detailed sweat pores using the naked eye, indicating that the film has profound research significance in fingerprint analysis and liveness fingerprint detection.

Abstract
Monodispersed gelatin hydrogel beads containing smectite with adsorbed cyanine dye exhibit chromotropic responses to compression and swelling/deswelling by solvent. Photoluminescence color of the beads changes by swelling in water (blue) and deswelling in ethanol (purple) reversibly. The forces generated by swelling/deswelling are thought to induce the transition between the J-aggregate and the monomer of cyanine dye adsorbed on smectite, giving the photoluminescent color changes.

Abstract
It is challenging to develop materials with room-temperature self-healing ability and mechanochromic response from mechanical stimuli to optical signals by a facile and simple preparation process. Herein, novel mechanochromic self-healing materials were designed by a simple synthesis procedure, balancing the mechanical properties, self-healing, stretchability, and mechanochromic response. Moreover, we designed and prepared the mechanochromic self-healing materials with different soft and hard segments by introducing multiple hydrogen bonds into the network, improving the mechanical properties and self-healing efficiency. In addition, the optimized sample exhibited good shape memory behavior (shape recovery ratio of 94.4%), self-healing properties (healed by pressing during stretching process), high tensile strength (17.6 MPa), superior stretchability (893%), fast mechanochromic response (strain of 272%), and great cyclic stretching-relaxing properties (higher than 10 times at strain of 300%). Above all, mechanochromic self-healing materials have promising potential in various fields, such as stress sensing, inkless writing, damage warning, deformation detection, and damage distribution.

Abstract
Mechanochromophores based on conformational changes of donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) springs allow sensing of forces acting on polymer chains by monotonic changes of absorbance or photoluminescence (PL) wavelength. Here, we identify a series of thiophene (D)-flanked quinoxalines (A) as molecular torsional springs for force sensing in bulk polymers at room temperature. The mode of DAD linkage to the polymer matrix and linker rigidity are key parameters that influence the efficacy of force transduction to the DAD spring and thus mechanochromic response, as probed by in situ PL spectroscopy of bulk films during stress-strain experiments. The largest shift of the PL maximum, and thus the highest sensitivity, is obtained from an ansa-DAD spring exhibiting bridged D units and a stiff A linker. Using detailed spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, we reveal conformer redistribution in the form of a thiophene ring flip as the major part of the overall mechanochromic response. At forces as low as 27 pN at early stages of deformation, the ring flip precedes mechanically induced planarization of the ansa-DAD spring, the latter process producing a PL shift of 21 nm nN-1. Within the stress-strain diagram, the thiophene ring flip and DAD planarization are thus two separated processes that also cause irreversible and reversible mechanochromic responses, respectively, upon sample failure. As the thiophene ring flip requires much smaller forces than planarization of the DAD spring, such micromechanical motion gives access to sensing of tiny forces and expands both sensitivity and the force range of conformational mechanochromophores.

Abstract
In recent years thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for the development of miniaturized and wearable sensors has skyrocketed. Among them, novel sensors for wearable medical devices are mostly needed. The aim of this review is to summarize the advancements in this field from current points of view, focusing on sensors embedded into textile fabrics. Indeed, they are portable, lightweight, and the best candidates for monitoring biometric parameters. The possibility of integrating chemical sensors into textiles has opened new markets in smart clothing. Many examples of these systems are represented by color-changing materials due to their capability of altering optical properties, including absorption, reflectance, and scattering, in response to different external stimuli (temperature, humidity, pH, or chemicals). With the goal of smart health monitoring, nanosized sol-gel precursors, bringing coupling agents into their chemical structure, were used to modify halochromic dyestuffs, both minimizing leaching from the treated surfaces and increasing photostability for the development of stimuli-responsive sensors. The literature about the sensing properties of functionalized halochromic azo dyestuffs applied to textile fabrics is reviewed to understand their potential for achieving remote monitoring of health parameters. Finally, challenges and future perspectives are discussed to envisage the developed strategies for the next generation of functionalized halochromic dyestuffs with biocompatible and real-time stimuli-responsive capabilities.

Abstract
A chromogenically reversible, mechanochromic pressure sensor is integrated into a mininvasive surgical grasper compatible with the da Vinci robotic surgical system. The sensorized effector, also featuring two soft-material jaws, encompasses a mechanochromic polymeric inset doped with functionalized spiropyran (SP) molecule, designed to activate mechanochromism at a chosen pressure and providing a reversible color change. Considering such tools are systematically in the visual field of the operator during surgery, color change of the mechanochromic effector can help avoid tissue damage. No electronics is required to control the devised visual feedback. SP-doping of polydimethylsiloxane (2.5:1 prepolymer/curing agent weight ratio) permits to modulate the mechanochromic activation pressure, with lower values around 1.17 MPa for a 2% wt. SP concentration, leading to a shorter chromogenic recovery time of 150 s at room temperature (25 °C) under green light illumination. Nearly three-times shorter recovery time is observed at body temperature (37 °C). To the best of knowledge, this study provides the first demonstration of mechanochromic materials in surgery, in particular to sensorize unpowered surgical effectors, by avoiding dramatic increases in tool complexity due to additional electronics, thus fostering their application. The proposed sensing strategy can be extended to further tools and scopes.

Abstract
Artificial muscles are the core components of the smart and interactive soft robotic systems, providing the capabilities in shape morphing, manipulation, and mobility. Intense research efforts in the development of artificial muscles are based on the dielectric elastomer actuators, pneumatic actuators, electrochemical actuators, soft magnetic actuators, and stimulus responsive polymers. Recent progress has presented artificial muscles with impressive specific power output exceeding that of the natural muscles, dexterous shape morphing behavior that can be programmed and reconfigured, and exceptional high maneuverability to traverse surfaces with obstacles and different textures. Here, a succinct and critical summary is provided on the materials and strategies that have contributed to the important advancement of the artificial muscles in recent research. On that basis, the exciting opportunities are discussed in the integration of soft electronic devices with artificial muscles to enable smart and interactive soft robotic systems.

Abstract
Mechanochromic polymeric systems are intensively investigated for real-time stress detection applications. However, an effective stress-sensing material must respond to low deformation with a detectable color change that should be quickly reversible upon force unloading. In this work, mechanochromic nanofibers made by electrospinning are used to produce mechanochromic nanofiber/poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) composites with isotropic and anisoptropic response. Due to chain alignment of spiropyran copolymer chains within the nanofibers, only very small strains are required to yield a mechanochromic response. Composites with aligned and isotropic nanofibers show anisotropic and isotropic mechanochromic behavior, respectively. Due to the special substitution pattern of spiropyran in the copolymer, the mechanochromic response of these nanofiber/PDMS composites shows fast reversibility upon force unloading. The outstanding benefit of using highly sensitive mechanochromic nanofibers as filler in composite materials allows the detection of directional stress and strain, and it is a step forward in the development of smart, mechanically responsive materials.

Abstract
Seven three-ring phenylene-ethynylene (PE) structural analogs, differing only in the lengths of alkyl chains on terminal aniline substituents, show 50-62 nm bathochromic shifts in emission maxima in response to mechanical force (mechanofluorochromism, MC). These shifts are fully reversible with heat or solvent fuming. Shearing of these solids yields a transition from green-emitting crystalline phases to orange-emitting amorphous phases as established by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Molecules with shorter alkyl chain lengths required higher temperatures to recover the hypsochromically shifted crystalline phases after grinding, while the recovery with chain lengths longer than butyl occurred at room temperature. In addition to this structure-dependent thermochromism, these compounds retain their MC properties in polymer hosts to various extents. The crystalline phases of these materials have PE chromophores that are twisted due to non-covalent perfluoroarene-arene (ArF-ArH) interactions involving perfluorophenyl pendants and the terminal rings of the PE chromophore, resulting in interrupted conjugation and an absence of chromophore aggregation. The MC behavior of an analog without the perfluoroarene rings is severely attenuated. This work demonstrates the general utility of twisted PEs as stimuli-responsive moieties and reveals clear structure-property relationships regarding the effects of alkyl chain length on these materials.

Abstract
"Paper" has greatly contributed to the development and spread of civilization. Even in today's "digitalized" world, paper continues to play a key role in socioeconomic growth, as is evidenced by the growth in global paper consumption. Unfortunately, the use of paper has its cost in terms of the exhaustion of world's natural resources. Consequently, new, cost-effective technologies that preserve natural resources are required for this purpose. Functional materials have revolutionized the way people think about developing new technologies. Especially important in this regard are "smart reactive materials," which are capable of actively responding to external stimuli such as heat, light, mechanical stress, and specific molecular orientations. Moreover, functionalized chromogenic materials, which undergo reversible color switching upon external stimulation, have attracted great attention in the context of developing rewritable paper. Here, investigations of various materials and systems that are devised for use as rewritable paper are reviewed with the hope that the coverage will stimulate and guide future studies in this area.

Abstract
Mechanochromic luminescent (ML) materials, which show a change in emission due to an applied mechanical stimulus, are useful components in a variety of applications, including organic light-emitting diodes, force sensors, optical memory storage, and next-generation lighting materials. While there are many different ML active derivatives, few show room temperature self-erasing. Thin films of the methoxy substituted β-diketone, gbmOMe, initially exhibited blue (428 nm) emission; however, green (478 nm) emission was observed after smearing. The mechanically generated smeared state recovered so rapidly that characterization of its emission was difficult at room temperature using traditional luminescence techniques. Thus, a new complementary metal oxide semiconductor camera imaging method was developed and used to calculate the decay time of the mechanically generated smeared state (i.e., smeared-state decay; τSM) for gbmOMe thin films. Additionally, this method was used to evaluate substrate and film thickness effects on ML recovery for glass and weighing paper films. The recovery behavior of gbmOMe was largely substrate-independent for the indicated matrixes; however, thickness effects were observed. Thus, film thickness may be the main factor in determining ML recovery behavior and must be accounted for when comparing the recovery dynamics of different ML materials. Moreover, when heated above the melting point (Tm = 119 °C), bulk gbmOMe powders assumed a metastable state that eventually crystallized after a few minutes at room temperature. However, melted thin films remained in an amorphous state indefinitely despite annealing at different temperatures (50-110 °C). The amorphous phase was identified as a supercooled liquid via changing the rate of cooling in differential scanning calorimetry thermograms.
