As potential analytical tools for collecting and mapping mechanical information in polymer materials, optical force probes (OFPs) have been developed over the last decade. However, due to the diverse properties of polymers, it is necessary to devise tailored OFP solutions for such material requirements in energy (both light and force), in time, and in their spatially detectable resolution. In their Minireview (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202102938), R. Göstl et al. highlight notable recent examples and identify future challenges in this emergent field.
