Mechanochemistry or mechanical chemistry is the coupling of mechanical and chemical phenomena on a molecular scale and includes mechanical breakage, chemical behaviour of mechanically stressed solids, ...

What is mechanochemical reaction?

Mechanochemistry refers to processes in which mechanical motions/energy control chemical reactions [71]. Specifically, the mechanochemical reaction involves highly reactive centers generated by the mechanical energy (e.g. ultrasonication, ball-milling) imparted to the reaction system.

What is mechanochemical treatment?

Mechanochemical treatment as a method of high energy mechanical treatment of a solid body can be divided into two main types: mechanical milling (or ball milling), and mechanical alloying (or mechanochemical synthesis). In both cases, various designs of planetary and jet mills, or disintegrators are used.
