One of the most significant fields of application for FRITSCH Planetary Mills is mechanochemistry. This subject is in theory, as well as in practice very wide-ranging and versatile. In the article you will find summarized information about history, functionality and the fields of application of mechanochemistry.

The article „Mechanochemistry – Chemistry with the Hammer“ published in the magazine Chemie unserer Zeit (Chemistry of our time) was written compact and comprehendible by three experts. The article sums up the multifaceted area of mechanochemistry: from the historical developments to physical mechanisms to application possibilities.

The Institute for Technical Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry of the University of Jena is intensively researching in the area of organic chemical syntheses with planetary ball mills: especially the Suzuki-Miyaura reactions, the oxidation with potassium manganite, the synthesis of cyclic boronic acid ester and the Knoevenagel condensation.
