RSC Mechanochemistry

Aims & Scope

RSC Mechanochemistry focuses on the publication of innovative research that advances the fundamental understanding and application of mechanical force for driving and controlling chemical reactions and materials transformations in the gas, liquid, and solid states. Mechanochemistry is where chemistry and mechanics meet, and involves the interaction of mechanical energy with matter at the molecular, supramolecular, and bulk materials levels. It encompasses areas such as sustainable chemical synthesis 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, the journal aims to provide a central interdisciplinary forum for bringing these diverse communities together, 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. The 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.
