Mechanochemistry and the Other Branches of Chemistry: Similarities and Differences

Abstract: It is argued that mechanical action can induce a unique chemical reaction, if enough mechanical energy is concentrated in the bonds involved in the process to bypass the activation energy. This can happen at crack tips, at the core of dislocations, or at the asperities of colliding or sliding surfaces. A mechanical reaction is always complex, as the macroscopic work is distributed among many possible reaction sites. In comparison, an elementary photochemical reaction is induced by a single photon, while thermo… Show more

“…There are many examples that show that application of shear reduces PT pressure by a factor of 2 to 10 for some PTs [6,85,90,93,95,96,97,98,99,103], including PTs to superhard phases of BN [90,95], PTs in Si and Ge [85,96], and Zr and Zr-Nb alloys [97,98]. An important point is that some of these discoveries at relatively low pressure can be scaled up using high pressure torsion [97,98,100,101,102,99,103] and ball milling [104,105,106,107,108,109,110].…”

“…Despite the simplicity and effective 1D treatment, this model explained many experimental results on PTs in DAC and RDAC and developed our intuition on the interaction between PTs and plasticity at the nanoscale. Due to the generic character of the model, qualitative conclusions from its application have been used by other groups to interpret their experimental findings in high pressure torsion [99,103], mechanochemistry and ball milling [108,109,110] and shock-induced amorphization in Si [111].…”

“…Automatisiertes Kugelmahlen ist unter den verschiedenen Arten der Anwendung von mechanischer Energie zu einer Standardtechnik geworden, um mechanochemische Reaktionen in verschieden Gebieten, wie der organischen [6] und der anorganischen Chemie, [7] der Metallorganik, [8] der Biokatalyse oder Polymerchemie, [9,10] um nur einige zu nennen, durchzuführen. [11] Abgesehen davon, dass sie als nachhaltigere Alternative zur Einleitung chemischer Umwandlungen anerkannt wurde, [12] hat Mechanochemie durch Kugelmahlen die Synthese von Substanzen ermçglicht, die schwer oder gar nicht durch klassische Synthese zugänglich sind.
