Polymer architecture effects on mechanochemical reactions
Long chain polymers have a unique ability to become highly extended in elongational flow fields. The forces developed along the backbone give rise to scission of the chains near their center. Recently, this unique property of polymers has been adopted to explore new chemical transformations by …

A quantitative and predictive model for mechanochemical kinetics and its experimental validation
… mechanochemistry offers for the design of novel mechanoresponsive and actuating materials requires a clear conceptual framework describing how and why mechanical force affects chemical reactivity. This work describes the development of such a model for mechanochemical kinetics and its …
