WG2: MECHANISTIC INVESTIGATIONS AND IN SITU MONITORING
WG2 will aim to provide mechanistic background and the study of driving forces of mechanochemical milling reactions and will work closely with all other WGs. All of the methodology described in the Mech@SusInd Action has an associated and often unknown mechanistic component and the understanding of driving forces of the reaction and thus all research groups have a keen interest and buy-in into this area. WG2 will focus on a combination of computer simulation and in situ monitoring methodologies, based on both powder X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy for solid phase composition. In-situ monitoring of mechanochemical reactions is complemented by fundamental studies of reaction mechanisms based on single-molecule force spectroscopy of mechanophores and advanced quantum chemistry. Technologists and experts able to provide tailor-made process automation solutions (including thermal recording of large industrial mills) in this challenging environment will be involved.
