Mechanoluminescent Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Mechanoluminescence enables optical sensing, imaging, and therapy without light-based excitation, overcoming challenges like tissue autofluorescence and phototoxicity.The review provides a design framework for choosing mechanoluminescent materials, adapting them for biological use, and the trade-offs and barriers to address on the path to clinical translation.
