| Abstract Scope |
The presentation addresses mechanochemical approach to solid-state synthesis technique that enables solvent-free preparation of a great variety of molecular, ionic and hybrid inorganic – organic materials. Current state of the art in the field of Mechanochemistry is briefly reviewed and possible mechanisms of mechanochemical transformations are summarized. Mechanochemical preparations of novel hybrid and complex materials such as 3D transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures, high-entropy transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and rare earth-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are highlighted, and the recently discovered mechanochemical depolymerization of an addition polymer, polystyrene, to monomeric styrene at room temperature under ambient atmosphere is presented. Transformation of research materials into commercial products and scaling up laboratory protocols will be discussed using mechanochemical processes as an example. |
