The present work focused on the synthesis of β-chitosan submicron particles (CSPs) from Todarodes pacificus using mechanochemical techniques. The gladius was submitted to a sequence of mechanical and chemical treatments to synthesize β-chitin (CT), which was further deacetylated to form spherical chitosan submicron particles with an average diameter of ⩽100 nm. The surface morphology of β-chiti...

A solvent-free synthesis of hierarchical porous carbons is conducted by a facile and fast mechanochemical reaction in a ball mill. By means of a mechanochemical ball-milling approach, we obtained titanium(IV) citrate-based polymers, which have been processed via high temperature chlorine treatment to hierarchical porous carbons with a high specific surface area of up to 1814 m2 g-1 and well-def...

The task of this article is to update, develop and introduce into scientific practice the method "mechanochemical recrystallization" in solid-phase systems with small additives liquid phase solvent precursors stabilize formed nanoparticles. essence shown using example mechanical activation S–AgNO3–NH4X system, where X = Cl, Br, I, addition dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), resulting mechanochemical sy...

The synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active area of academic and, more significantly, applied research in nanotechnology. Several methods have been introduced for the synthesis of these materials. The techniques for synthesizing aluminum nanoparticles can be divided into solidphase, liquid-phase and gas-phase processes. The solid-phase techniques include mechanical ball milling and mec...

Mechanochemical synthesis has recently emerged as a scalable “green” approach for the preparation of MOFs, but current understanding underlying reaction mechanisms is limited. In this work, an investigation pathway mechanochemical MOF-74 from ZnO and 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (H4HDTA), using DMF liquid additive, presented. The complex involves formation four short-lived intermediate phases...
