  • Method for controlling stress distribution in material and reading stress information
    Patent number: 10685200
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the stress distribution in a material, comprising the steps of: a, preparing a crosslinked polymer containing reversible exchange bonds; b, applying an external force to the crosslinked polymer to cause a certain strain; c, specific region of the crosslinked polymer is selectively heated while maintaining the strain. This method controls and utilizes the internal stresses which are commonly considered as unfavorable. The invention also provides a method for reading information in a polarized light field, wherein the crosslinked polymer treated by the method is transparent under natural light. The information therein can be read only under polarized light, and possesses concealment.
