Hear from our authors: Lars Borchardt

RSC Mechanochemistry has published its first articles. To celebrate this, we asked the authors to discuss their work in some more detail.

 

In this edition, we hear from Lars Borchardt about their study titled Polymer vessels in mechanochemical syntheses: assessing material performance.

 

“Optimize your mechanochemical reactions with our thorough evaluation of polymer vessel materials, focusing on durability and performance. These insights can help our mechanochemical community select the best materials for innovative and reliable mechanochemical applications.”

 

“Polymers have already shown promise as vessel materials in mechanochemical reactions. Our paper expands the current possibilities by offering in-depth insights into the properties and performance of a wide range of thermoplastic polymers. This work is meant to simplify the material choice to enable optimal conditions.”

 

“This paper highlights the versatility of polymers in mechanochemistry, showcasing their adaptability to diverse chemical and mechanical demands.”

 

“Our study offers essential insights into polymer vessel suitability, especially highlighting their potential for in-situ monitoring and temperature resistance in mechanochemical reactions.”
