Mechanochemistry and sonochemistry: concluding remarks.

Solvent-free sonochemistry: Sonochemical organic synthesis in the absence of a liquid medium

Sonochemistry, i.e., the application of mechanical energy in the form of sound waves, has recently been recognised for its similarity to mechanochemistry and is now included under the umbrella term of mechanochemistry. Typically, due to the hypothesised cavitation mechanism, a liquid medium is considered as a necessity for a process to take place as a result of ultrasonic irradiation. In view o...

The Interplay between Mechanochemistry and Sonochemistry

Concluding Remarks of the Second International Congress on Traditional Medicne & Materia Medica, 4-7 oct. 2004, tehran, iran

Plants are one of the great resources of the world, and as humankind has evolved, socially, spiritually, and economically, we have found, collectively, a myriad uses for the plants around us. One of those uses is for the prevention, treatment, and cure of various disease states. Documented knowledge about such use dates back at least 4000 years, and several of the plant mentioned in the ancie...

Harnessing mechanochemical effects with ultrasound-induced reactions

Chemical reactions may experience numerous and varied effects under the influence of ultrasound. This soft radiation, often viewed as a lab trick, induces and improves both physical and chemical transformations by means of efficient agitation, dissolution, mass and heat transfers, and reagents sonolysis, which all arise from the cavitational collapse. An empirical rationale that distinguishes b...
