  Understanding the stress transfer mechanisms from a polymer matrix to
two-dimensional reinforcements is essential for the preparation of high
performance nanocomposites. In this study, the interfacial stress transfer from
a flexible polymer substrate to monolayer and few-layer molybdenum disulfide
MoS2 under tension has been investigated. Layer-dependent and strain-dependent
photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were used to examine the stress transfer
efficiency.
