Herein we report a versatile method for the preparation of triboluminescent polymer films by physical blending with common luminophores. This method does not require the presence of a crystalline phase or the use of materials known to be triboluminescent. Emission is generated in response to friction of the polymer surface via triboelectrification, either by rubbing directly or through an inert coating layer, even with low applied stress (<0.1 MPa). Our findings offer a convenient and practical method of preparation of triboluminescent, amorphous polymer films with easily tunable emission properties.
