In recent years, mechanochemistry has been growing into a widely accepted alternative for
chemical synthesis. In addition to their efficiency and practicality, mechanochemical …

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

Mechanochemical transformations offer environmentally benign synthesis routes, whilst
enhancing both the speed and selectivity of reactions. In this regard, mechanochemistry …

Direct mechanocatalysis (DM) describes solvent-free catalytic reactions that are initiated by
mechanical forces in mechanochemical reactors such as ball mills. The distinctive feature of …

Mechanochemistry provides an environmentally benign platform to develop more
sustainable chemical processes by limiting raw materials, energy use, and waste generation …

Conspectus The past two decades have witnessed a rapid emergence of interest in
mechanochemistry–chemical and materials reactivity achieved or sustained by the action of …

Direct mechanocatalysis describes catalytic reactions under the involvement of mechanical
energy with the distinct feature of milling equipment itself being the catalyst. This novel type …

Solid-state milling has emerged as an alternative, sustainable approach for preparing
virtually all classes of compounds and materials. In situ reaction monitoring is essential to …

The direct mechanochemical amidation of esters by ball milling is described. The
operationally simple procedure requires an ester, an amine, and substoichiometric KOtBu …

Over 8 billion tons of plastic have been produced to date, and a 100% reclamation recycling
strategy is not foreseeable. This review summarizes how the mechanochemistry of polymers …
