Developed Material That Changes Color as It Stretches

More than a hundred years ago, in 1908 A Nobel Prize-winning technique, enabled the development of a new material in today’s scientific world. Using Gabriel Lippmann’s method of preventing colors from mixing in photographic events, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a material that changes color as it stretches.

Materials that change color as they stretch have also been developed in the laboratory. However, the development process of these materials is generally It required a lot of effort and money. Using Lippmann’s technique, the team at MIT was able to develop a material that changes color as it stretches at a much cheaper cost.

Material that changes color as it stretches:

The color of the newly developed material travels through the visible light spectrum when subjected to tensile forces, changing first to red, then green, and finally blue. All colors are visible on the material as shown in the video above. All this, of course, is Lippmann’s technique and is often used to create holograms. a material called ‘photoelastomer’ is accomplished by merging.

The newly developed material has the potential to be used as sensors for mechanical instruments, in particular, where stress and strain must be monitored, according to the MIT team. New material, currently used in this subject can replace electronic devices. However, the material is used in medical bandages to observe how tight the bandage is adhered or simply to It can even be used on clothes for fun.

One of the most interesting aspects of the new material was that the Lippmann technique used in the material was the first to find commercial use. The technique developed by Lippmann had no use in its time.
