Due to the sudden change in material properties the phase transition has many possible applications. Notably, the band gap regeneration allows for the creation of strain-motivated electronic and optical switches, which is useful in creating mechanically-motivated flexible electronics. Alternating strain application in the x and y directions may allow for repeatable switch-like behavior. Furthermore, the transition's sudden reduction in stress during transition allows for directionally fractureresistant materials, which are useful in general applications for designing self-healing materials. Exploring other materials for similar reorientations may allow for a special set of fracture-resistant materials. Phosphorene already has an existing interest within the field of flexible electronics. From this research, we better understand how phosphorene acts when materials flex, providing new understanding to phosphorene. Manufacturers may be able to take advantage of or account for phosphorene's directional stiffness when designing bendable displays or wearable devices. Through strain application on phosphorene at varying directions, we may utilize phosphorene's adjustable properties for precise applications in electronics and biomedics. As advances continue, phos-phorene may very likely become an essential part of many flexible electronics, enabling a reduction in size, weight, and energy usage of many existing electronics.
