The first journal dedicated to the study of mechanochemistry
澳门六合彩开奖记录 Mechanochemistry offers you an inclusive and dedicated home for the ideas, scientific language and approaches that cut across the many disciplines mechanochemistry touches. Here we are seeking to build knowledge, as well as foster innovation and discovery at this forefront of chemistry. Whether you are seeking to understand the fundamentals of mechanochemistry, or you are excited by its applications and potential, this journal is for you.
We welcome contributions from a broad and diverse community – capturing research across all areas of theoretical and experimental chemistry (organic, inorganic, polymer, supramolecular and biological) as well as related fields where mechanochemical processes are at work. We also seek to highlight mechanochemistry as an enabling technology for sustainability.
What makes this journal unique? It is the first to focus entirely on the study of mechanical forces in chemistry and the central role of mechanochemistry in many other disciplines. As part of the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 portfolio, 澳门六合彩开奖记录 Mechanochemistry provides a focused and rigorous assessment process by peer reviewers who are experts in this field. This is your opportunity to crush the boundaries and advance thinking in mechanochemistry.
All of the content in this journal is gold open access, which means that you can read every article for free, and we are covering all publication costs until mid-2026.

Journal scope
澳门六合彩开奖记录 Mechanochemistry focuses on the publication of innovative research that advances the fundamental understanding and application of the use of mechanical force for driving and controlling chemical reactions and materials transformations in the gas, liquid, and solid states.
As 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 not only areas such as sustainable chemical synthesis, but also tribochemistry, chemo/mechanical transduction (e.g. polymer mechanochemistry, mechano-biology, photo-mechanochemistry), and mechanical alloying.
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.
Coverage includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Methodologies (e.g. milling, extrusion, mechanical activation, high-pressure synthesis, force microscopy, sonication, reagents, new strategies, organic, supramolecular, polymer, coordination, inorganic, materials, catalysis)
- Synthetic Approaches (e.g. solvent-free, liquid-assisted grinding, vapor-assisted reactions (and general effects of atmosphere/environment on transformations), mechanical alloying, cocrystallisation, amorphisation, efficiency, catalysis, reaction control)
- Process and Scale-up (e.g. process design, reactor design, intensification, efficiency, safety)
- Cutting edge (e.g. innovations in synthetic scope, hybrid methods, i.e. mechanical force conjunction with light, heat, electrical charge, novel methods for synthesis, and fundamental understanding)
- Applications (e.g. electronics, dyes, consumer products, coatings, pharmaceuticals, preservatives, building materials, chemicals for industry/agriculture/mining, and processes of relevance in geology and planter sciences)
- Impact (e.g. reaction discovery, accessing new materials, economic metrics, sustainability, democratization of synthesis)
- Theory and Modeling (e.g. atomistic/molecular-level, molecular dynamics, DFT, machine learning, AI, discrete element modeling, process modeling)
- Mechanisms (e.g. reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, intermediates, interfacial reactions)
- Education and training in mechanochemistry (e.g. tutorials, curriculum development, lab demos, or lab course modules and simulations)
