Frequently Asked Questions (11)
Q2. What is the mechanism that promotes the refinement of the system microstructure?
The deposition of kinetic energy accompanying the mechanical deformation not only promotes the refinement of the system microstructure, but also abrasion and fracture.
Q3. What is the effect of adding an inert salt diluent into the starting?
the addition of an inert salt diluent into the starting powder prevents the occurrence of agglomeration or combustion because: (1) the diluent separates the reactants; (2) the diluent absorbs some of the collision energy during milling, reducing the energy transfer into the reactants; (3) the diluent absorbs heat generated by the reaction and reduces the temperature reached during milling.
Q4. What is the composition of the phases formed under mechano-hydrothermal conditions?
Unlike solid–solid mechanochemical reactions similar to hydrothermal synthesis, the composition of the phases formed under mechano-hydrothermal conditions is also determined by the mole fraction of the components taken for synthesis.
Q5. How can acid–base MCS be used to synthesize nanoparticles?
by selecting suitable conditions such as chemical reaction paths, stoichiometry of starting materials and milling conditions, acid–base MCS can be used to synthesize nanoparticles dispersed within a water-soluble salt matrix,548 where the new-formed salt matrix represents an analogy for salt formation via the traditional neutralization process.
Q6. How has the use of synchrotron radiation been made possible?
real-time in situ investigations of structural changes and chemical dynamics in the combustion area have been made possible by the use of synchrotron radiation.
Q7. What is the reason for the BT particles to be finer?
When the starting materials of BT, an equimolar mixture of TiO2 and BaCO3, were vibro-milled by nyloncoated steel balls in a PTFE vial, finer BT particles were obtained due to the homogenized reaction mixture.
Q8. Why did the MARFOS powders have a hot deformation ability?
This was possible because mechanical activation, besides modifying the reactivity of the pristine powders, also produced powder mixtures with hot deformation ability, allowing the densification to be achieved by forging at relatively low temperature (700 1C).
Q9. What are the kinetics of mechanochemical transformations?
Local atomic processes, mechanical deformation, fracture, and specific surface area increase occur simultaneously to define the kinetics of mechanochemical transformations.
Q10. What is the relationship between the nucleation of new lattice defects and the mechanical?
The nucleation of new lattice defects being related to the plastic flow, structural changes are related to plastic strain, rather than to mechanical stresses.
Q11. How long have chemical reactions been used to probe the reactivity of the surfaces generated by fracture?
Despite this, chemical reactions have been successfully used to indirectly probe, on a very short time scale, the reactivity of the surfaces generated by fracture.
