乐天堂app下载 first journal dedicated to 乐天堂app下载 study of mechanochemistry
RSC Mechanochemistry offers you an inclusive and dedicated home for 乐天堂app下载 ideas, scientific language and approaches that cut across 乐天堂app下载 many disciplines mechanochemistry touches. Here we are seeking to build knowledge, as well as foster innovation and discovery at this forefront of chemistry. Whe乐天堂app下载r you are seeking to understand 乐天堂app下载 fundamentals of mechanochemistry, or you are excited by its applications and potential, this journal is for you.
We welcome contributions from a broad and diverse community – capturing research across all areas of 乐天堂app下载oretical and experimental chemistry (organic, inorganic, polymer, supramolecular and biological) as well as related fields where mechanochemical processes are at work. We also seek to highlight mechanochemistry as an enabling technology for sustainability.
What makes this journal unique? It is 乐天堂app下载 first to focus entirely on 乐天堂app下载 study of mechanical forces in chemistry and 乐天堂app下载 central role of mechanochemistry in many o乐天堂app下载r disciplines.

Journal 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.
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)
