mechanochemistry

Mechanochemistry can be seen as an interface between chemistry and mechanical engineering.

The term mechanochemistry is sometimes confused with mechanosynthesis, which refers specifically to the machine-controlled construction of complex molecular products.

A primitive, very non-biological form of mechanochemistry has been performed at cryogenic temperatures using scanning tunneling microscopes.

A quantitative defluorination process was described by mechanochemistry, for safe eco-friendly PVDF waste processing.

His current research is on the induction of chirality into mesophases, aspects of steric hindrance and the mechanochemistry of organic compounds.

Mechanochemistry - is the coupling of mechanical and chemical phenomena on a molecular scale and can be seen as a coupling of chemistry and mechanical engineering.
