Mechanochemistry provides a unique approach to investigate macroscopic deformation, failure and healing of polymer materials. The development of mechanophores - molecular units that respond to mechanical force - has been instrumental in the success of this endeavor. This review aims to provide a critical evaluation of the large variety of mechanophores reported in literature, and to assess the molecular and macroscopic factors that determine their activation. Applications in materials science are highlighted, and challenges in polymer mechanochemistry are discussed.
机械化学为研究聚合物材料的宏观变形、破坏和愈合提供了一种独特的方法。力化学基团（即对机械力作出响应的分子单元）的发展对这一研究的成功起到了重要作用。本综述旨在对文献中报道的各种各样的力化学基团进行批判性评估，并评估决定其活化的分子和宏观因素。文中突出了其在材料科学中的应用，并讨论了聚合物机械化学面临的挑战。
