Abstract

Mechanochemistry is one of the most important fields of solid-state chemistry which is intensively developed during the last decade. Depending on the processing conditions, the mechanochemical processes fall into two categories: progressive reaction (PR) and mechanically induced self-sustaining reaction (MSR). In the first mode, the reaction may extend to a very small volume during each collision, resulting in a gradual transformation. In the second manner, if the reaction enthalpy is sufficiently high, a self-propagating combustion reaction can be initiated after a certain time. The simplicity, reproducibility, and low processing cost are the main advantages of this method. Therefore, the mechanochemical process can be served, when the mass production of nanopowders is required. From the microstructural point of view, the mechanosynthesized powders usually possess a well-defined structure due to the perturbation of surface-bonded species. However, the determination of the morpholog...
