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 ...

To be published, work must present a significant advance in mechanochemistry, and/or its applications. Particularly desirable are papers that contain a comparison with existing methods/approaches and ...

The drive to improve the power conversion efficiency of the class of next generation solar cell materials known as 'halide perovskites' has been tremendously successful, with values now exceeding 24%.

Traditional chemistry is so last year. Welcome to the world of mechanochemistry, where reactions that were thought impossible – indeed, that are impossible when attempted in more conventional ...

This thesis investigates mechanochemistry-specific methods for the sustainable and scalable synthesis of small molecules and functional materials. Chapter 2 employs resonant acoustic mixing (RAM) to ...

Jeff Moore of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will introduce you to the mechanophore hypothesis, including the history of polymer mechanochemistry over the past two decades. Then, Steve ...

"Mechanochemistry simply initiates a chemical reaction through mechanical force," explained Brown. "Whether that be grinding, shearing, or milling." In this particular method, a ball mill—an ...
