"Mechanochemistry: The Revolutionary Path to Materials Innovation"

TL;DR Summary
Mechanochemistry, a field that uses mechanical force to combine reactants, shows promise in revolutionizing the creation of new materials. By grinding reactants with a ball mill, compounds can be synthesized without the need for traditional liquid solutions and solvents. However, the technique is still not widely adopted in industry due to a lack of quantitative understanding and precise control. Real-time measurements and better theoretical understanding are needed to encourage commercialization, but further research is required to fully comprehend the mechanics and dynamics of mechanochemical reactions.
