Abstract
From parachutes to orbiting systems, webbing structures play a crucial role on the safety of civil and aerospace systems. The mechanical strength of a webbing can be severely undermined by the ultra-violet (UV) component of sunlight. In this work, we introduce a photochromic webbing structure that exhibits color variation upon UV irradiation. The photochromic webbing demonstrates sensitivity under a wide range of realistic field settings, including extended UV exposures and cyclic UV irradiations. Our analysis could help set the stage for the integration of photochromic webbings in aerospace systems.
