    • The fluorescence spectrum of the donor units in the stretched 1/PDMS film (Figure 3b) was blue-shifted compared to that of D1 in solution (Figure 1b) or that of D2 in the elastomeric films (see Figure S11 in the Supporting Information). It is unclear at present why the spectral shift was induced upon stretching. It should be noted that the blue-shifted donor fluorescence changes the spectral overlap integral [J(λ)] that is the factor affecting the FRET efficiency (E) as represented in eq 2. In fact, the blue-shifted donor fluorescence results in a larger spectral overlap integral [J(λ)]. Importantly, eqs 1 and 2 suggest that the FRET efficiency (E) will increase upon stretching in case a spectral overlap integral [J(λ)] increases. This predicted phenomenon is opposite to our results in which we observed the decrease of E upon stretching. Thus, we could at least rule out the effect of the blue-shifted donor fluorescence on our proposed mechanism
