Mechanochemical processes with the reaction-induced mechanical activation. Chemo-mechanochemical effect

Resumo

The review addresses the special case of mechanical activation of solid-state chemical reactions when the stress field, strain, and defects in crystals are induced by the chemical reaction itself rather than by the external mechanical impact (chemo-mechanochemical (CMC) effect). This review presents the analysis and state-of-the-art of research activities in this area. Different cases of the CMC effect in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems are considered: with or without changes in the chemical composition, with or without formation of solid products, etc.
