COVER STORY Visualization of Force |
| Polymers deform relatively easily when force is applied and because of this characteristic, polymers are being useful plastic and rubber products. When polymers are used as additives, they affect friction, lubrication, flow, etc., and improve the quality of our lives. Looking at life phenomena, cells change their behavior as well by receiving mechanical stimuli from surrounding polymer fibers. If we can understand the relationship between polymers and forces spatiotemporally, it will lead to an essential understanding of various phenomena and improvement of the functions of polymer materials. In this special issue, we would like to introduce cutting-edge research on visualizing phenomena related to macromolecules and forces by quantitatively expressing them as graphs, colors, and images.
