The invention provides a mechanoluminescent material and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of mechanoluminescent materials. According to the invention, Sr1-xB2O4 is used as a matrix, and Crx (0.001 lt; xlt; the near-
infrared mechanoluminescent material Sr1-xB2O4: Crx is prepared by taking SrxB2O4: Crx as a main material and taking SrxB2O4: Crx as an
active agent, the preparation method of the near-
infrared mechanoluminescent material adopts a high-temperature
solid-
phase method, the preparation process is simple, no special
atmosphere is needed, and the near-
infrared mechanoluminescent material can be sintered in air and is easy to operate and control; and no toxic or harmful gas is generated in the preparation process, so that environmental
pollution is avoided. Sr1-xB2O4: Crx and PDMS
colloid are further mixed and cured to prepare the near-infrared
mechanoluminescence film, near-infrared
mechanoluminescence appears within the elastic limit of the film, strong
mechanoluminescence is achieved under the mechanical action (such as pressure, stretching, friction and the like), the
wavelength range covers 650-950 nm, and the near-infrared mechanoluminescence film can be used for preparing the near-infrared mechanoluminescence film. The method has huge application potential in the fields of
engineering structure health detection, anti-counterfeiting technology, novel
light source development,
biomedicine and the like.
