MECHANICAL ACTIVATION METHODS IN INORGANIC MATERIALS SCIENCE

Many branches of science and technology need new materials. Different methods are used to obtain them. In particular, one of the promising methods used both at the stage of preparation for the thermal synthesis of materials and as an independent method is the mechanical activation of solids. Research carried out by domestic and foreign scientific organisations is devoted to the development of fundamental principles of mechanochemical technologies. This review summarises and formulates some patterns of mechanochemical reactions, such as the reactions of hydrated compounds and mechanically stimulated solid-phase thermal reactions, and indicates the most effective ways of their use. Examples of the synthesis of materials with valuable properties for use in modern technology are presented.
