Mechanochemistry describes diverse phenomena in which mechanical load affects
chemical reactivity. The fuzziness of this definition means that it includes processes as …

Fragmentation of macromolecular solutes in rapid flows is of considerable fundamental and
practical importance. The sequence of molecular events preceding chain fracture is poorly …

Radical initiators such as azo compounds and organic peroxides have been widely used to
facilitate numerous transformations of free radicals, which enable the efficient synthesis of …

Stretching a segment of a polymer beyond its contour length makes its (primarily backbone)
bonds more dissociatively labile, which enables polymer mechanochemistry. Integrating …

Traditional pharmacotherapy suffers from multiple drawbacks that hamper patient treatment,
such as the buildup of antibiotic resistances or low drug selectivity and toxicity during …

There is an ongoing global shift in pharmaceutical business models from small molecule
drugs to biologics. This increase in complexity is in response to advancements in our …

Mechanochemistry uses mechanical force to break, form, and manipulate chemical bonds to
achieve functional transformations and syntheses. Over the last years, many innovative …

The main goal of the field of neuromorphic computing is to build machines that emulate
aspects of the brain in its ability to perform complex tasks in parallel and with great energy …

Polymer mechanochemistry uses mechanical forces to break and manipulate chemical
bonds, driving a functional response in the material of choice, thus making it an ideal …
