Abstract

Mechanoluminescent materials are characterized by high luminescence intensity, high repeatability, no external voltage activation, and a good linear relationship between stress and mechanoluminescence intensity within a certain range. Therefore, mechanoluminescent materials have attracted increasing attention from researchers in the fields of stress sensing, encryption and anti-counterfeiting, structural health monitoring, energy-saving lighting, intelligent wearable devices, and other fields. In this study, ZnS:Mn powders with different Mn2+ ratios and different ion doping were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-phase reaction, and the synthesis of various materials was characterized. Then, the optimal mechanoluminescence effect of the ZnS:1%Mn,1%Li material was obtained. The photoluminescence intensity of ZnS:1%Mn,1%Li was 16.7 times higher than that of the sample without doping with Li+, and the mechanoluminescence intensity was 1.64 times higher. Finally, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film was combined with ZnS:Mn,Li mechanoluminescent powders to prepare flexible three-layer composite film. Based on this, a feasible strategy for the detection of temporomandibular disorders was proposed. The composite film is easy to use, economical, and safe, and has good mechanoluminescent performance, which has potential application value in the field of occlusal force detection and visualization.
