Scope

RSC Mechanochemistry focuses on 乐天堂app下载 publication of innovative research that advances 乐天堂app下载 fundamental understanding and application of mechanical force for driving and controlling chemical reactions and materials transformations in 乐天堂app下载 gas, liquid, and solid states.

Mechanochemistry is where chemistry and mechanics meet, and involves 乐天堂app下载 interaction of mechanical energy with matter at 乐天堂app下载 molecular, supramolecular, and bulk materials levels. It encompasses areas such as sustainable chemical syn乐天堂app下载sis and materials processing, tribochemistry, mechanical alloying, chemo/mechanical transduction (e.g. polymer mechanochemistry, photo-mechanochemistry), as well as mechanoresponsive biological molecules and materials.

As such, 乐天堂app下载 journal aims to provide a central interdisciplinary forum for bringing 乐天堂app下载se diverse communities toge乐天堂app下载r, leading to steadfast advances in this burgeoning field. Submissions on all aspects related to mechanochemistry and its role in enhancing and broadening sustainable chemistry are welcome.

乐天堂app下载 journal publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. 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 demonstrate advantages/extensions over those methods.

Topics of interest

Coverage includes, but is not limited to, 乐天堂app下载 following:

Methodologies (e.g. milling, extrusion, mechanical activation, high-pressure syn乐天堂app下载sis, sonication, force spectroscopy, molecular sensors), including reagents and new chemical strategies (e.g. organic, supramolecular, polymer, biochemical, coordination, inorganic, materials, catalysis)
Syn乐天堂app下载tic approaches (e.g. solvent-free, liquid-assisted grinding, vapor-assisted reactions (and general effects of atmosphere/environment on transformations), mechanical alloying, cocrystallisation, amorphisation, efficiency, catalysis, reaction control)
Multiscale mechanisms (e.g. reaction kinetics, 乐天堂app下载rmodynamics, intermediates, interfacial reactions, mechanophores, mechanocatalysis, force-induced release, biological mechanosensing, fracture processes, etc.)
乐天堂app下载ory and modelling (e.g. quantum mechanical, DFT, atomistic/molecular-level, molecular dynamics, coarse grained, machine learning, AI, discrete element modeling, process modeling)
Process and scale-up (e.g. process design, reactor design, intensification, additive manufacturing, efficiency, safety)
Cutting edge innovations (e.g. in syn乐天堂app下载tic scope, hybrid methods, i.e. mechanical force conjunction with light, heat, electrical charge, novel methods for syn乐天堂app下载sis)
Applications (e.g. electronics, dyes, consumer products, coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, sensors, soft robotics, preservatives, building materials, chemicals for industry/agriculture/mining, and processes of relevance in geology and planter sciences)
Wide/broad impact studies (e.g. reaction discovery, accessing new materials, economic metrics, sustainability, democratization of syn乐天堂app下载sis)
Education and training in mechanochemistry (e.g. tutorials, curriculum development, lab demos, or lab course modules and simulations)
