We have designed a series of mechanochromic devices inspired by nature with the capabilities of changing transparency and "switching on/off" luminescence in response to mechanical stimuli. The key to accomplish these excellent optical properties is to control strain-induced surface engineering, that is, the longitudinal cracks opening and transverse invaginated folds. All of these devices are comprised of a rigid thin layer atop polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based elastomer, which can be facilely and quickly fabricated. For transparency change mechanochromism, the folds and cracks with excellent light trapping and scattering capabilities can endow high opaqueness to the originally highly transparent samples. The evolution of crack opening and fold-ridge mechanisms are captured through finite analysis that incorporates damage and cracks in the rigid thin layer. For luminescent mechanochromism, the strain-tunable cracks on the UV shield layer act as "gates" to mediate the traveling of UV light to "switch on/off" the luminescence of mechanochromism. This device exhibits a remarkably high strain responsive sensitivity, demonstrating an excellent sensing capability for detecting mechanical failure or damage. All the mechanochromisms also show outstanding durability and reversibility.
By performing spatially resolved Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy with different illumination conditions, we have achieved a unified understanding towards the spectroscopy signatures of the organic-inorganic h...

The heterogeneous metal-organic framework Bi-BTC successfully catalyzed the synthesis of para -xylene from bio-based 2,5-dimethylfuran and acrylic acid in a promising yield (92 %), under relatively mild conditions (160 °C, 10 bar), and with a low reaction-energy barrier (47.3 kJ mol −1 ). The proposed reaction strategy also demonstrates a remarkable versatility for furan derivatives such as furan and 2-methylfuran.

Cabe Jawa (Piper retrofractum Vahl) is an important commodity for herbal industries in Indonesia. One of the bioactive compounds in this herb is piperine. In this study, concentration of piperine in Cabe Jawa was analysed using HPLC and UV spectrophotometry methods. Cabe Jawa samples were prepared using two different methods. The first sample (S1) was dried from fresh Piper retrofractum, while the second sample (S2) was dried from boiled Piper retrofractum. Both samples were extracted using Soxhlet, followed by solvent evaporation to obtain the concentrated extract. Piperine concentration was measured using UV spectrophotometry and HPLC via internal standard method. The yields of extract of S1 and S2 were 23.0% and 22.1%, respectively. Piperine UV spectrophotometry standard curve equation was y = 0.1107*(X)-0.1578, R2 = 0.9999, whereas HPLC standard curve equation was y = 105916*(X) + 28100.9, R2 = 0.9978. Piperine concentration in S1 and S2 extracts quantified using UV spectrophotometry were 19.0% and 18.1%., respectively. The values for S were much higher compared to values obtained by HPLC, which were 6.8% (S1) and 7.3% (S2). Therefore, the use of UV spectrophotometry for analysis of piperine is not recommended due to the interference of other compounds, which are absorbed at the same wavelength.

Ferroelectric materials exhibit switchable remanent polarization due to reversible symmetry breaking under an applied electric field. Previous research has leveraged temperature‐induced neutral‐ionic transitions in charge‐transfer (CT) cocrystals to access ferroelectrics that operate through displacement of molecules under an applied field. However, displacive ferroelectric behavior is rare in organic CT cocrystals and achieving a Curie temperature ( T C ) above ambient has been elusive. Here a cocrystal between acenaphthene and 2,3,5,6‐tetrafluoro‐7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane is presented that shows switchable remanent polarization at room temperature ( T C =68 °C). Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and solid‐state NMR spectroscopy indicate the ferroelectric behavior is facilitated by acenaphthene (AN) rotation, deviating from conventional design strategies for CT ferroelectrics. These findings highlight the relevance of non‐CT interactions in the design of displacive ferroelectric cocrystals.
