Abstract
Disclosed is a mechanochromic array patch that implements, as a color change, a strain applied to a skin surface due to musculoskeletal movement. The mechanochromic array patch may include stretchable mechanochromic color-changing parts, a polymer connection part that connects the mechanochromic color-changing parts, and a water-insoluble support part. The polymer connection part may have a higher elastic modulus compared to the mechanochromic color-changing parts.
Claims17
A mechanochromic array patch comprising:
- stretchable mechanochromic color-changing parts, which are arranged in a two-dimensional array form;
- a polymer connection part that connects the mechanochromic color-changing parts adjacent to each other;
- and
- a water-insoluble support part,
- wherein the polymer connection part has a higher elastic modulus compared to the mechanochromic color-changing parts.
A method for manufacturing a mechanochromic array patch, comprising:
- forming a sacrificial layer on a substrate;
- forming a polymer connection part of a linear type on the sacrificial layer;
- forming mechanochromic color-changing parts on both ends of the polymer connection part;
- forming a water-insoluble support part on the polymer connection part and the mechanochromic color-changing parts;
- and
- removing the sacrificial layer,
- wherein the polymer connection part has a higher elastic modulus compared to the mechanochromic color-changing parts.
