Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Mechanochemistry provides an environmentally sustainable approach to prepare and process molecules and materials and offers a new research space full of opportunities. However, its full industrial potential has not yet been realized. Herein, we discuss opportunities offered and challenges laying ahead for the adoption of mechanochemical manufacturing technologies into industry.
