Chemistry traditionally relies on reactions in solution, but this method is increasingly
problematic due to the scale of chemical processes and their economic and environmental …

The ball-mill grinding (BMG) of polymers has a long history, starting with Staudinger
showing in the 1930s that polystyrene undergoes chain scission upon ball milling. However …

The development of luminescent materials via mechanochemistry embodies a compelling
yet intricate frontier within materials science. Herein, we delineate a methodology for the …

With the growing emphasis on cost-and atom-economical chemical synthesis,
mechanochemistry has attracted considerable attention for providing environmentally …

Mechanochemical reactions, achieved through milling, grinding, or other mechanical
actions, have emerged as a solvent‐free alternative to traditional solution‐based chemistry …

The plastic waste crisis has grave consequences for our environment, as most single-use
commodity polymers remain in landfills and oceans long after their commercial lifetimes …

In this report, we demonstrate that polymethacrylates can undergo appreciable
depolymerization, with mild conditions and without reactive end groups, using ball-mill …

The oxidative Heck reaction is a well-known organic transformation. However, previous
reactions have been limited by the need for sophisticated directing or auxiliary groups …

The effects of external force on polymers have been actively studied for a long time. Initially
considered a primary factor leading to polymer degradation, it has recently been re …

The tearing of a polymer network arises from mechanochemically coupled bond-breaking
events in the backbone of a polymer chain. An emerging research area is the identification …
