Introducing RSC Mechanochemistry

Where did the idea for RSC Mechanochemistry come from?

We decided to create RSC Mechanochemistry after top researchers from our community approached us directly with a new, innovative journal proposal.

 

Meet our Editors-in-Chief

James Batteas

Texas A&M University

Tomislav Friščić

University of Birmingham

 

The idea behind RSC Mechanochemistry is compelling. This journal will be a platform for scientists to examine all aspects of mechanochemistry, from the fundamentals to applied work in many disciplines.

 

Find out more on the journal webpage.

 

Until now, there has been no dedicated mechanochemistry journal. The launch of RSC Mechanochemistry changes this.
