Contemporary polymer network materials, such as hydrogels and elastomers, require not only enhanced mechanical properties but also adaptability during or after use. Polymer mechanochemistry, which ...

RSC Mechanochemistry focuses on the publication of innovative research that advances the fundamental understanding and application of the use of mechanical force for driving and controlling chemical ...

Instead of any of these, however, mechanochemistry relies on mechanical forces – for example ... mash two things together with enough force and a chemical reaction might occur – but the ...

solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to mechanical fields. For example, traditional materials under load stress experience deformation which leads to deterioration. However, ...
