MechSustInd – focuses on the development of the field of mechanochemistry and mechanochemical techniques within the context of chemical, pharmaceutical industries, and process engineering.
Up-to-date, mechanochemistry has been shown to enable the reduction, or the elimination, of solvents, while ensuring increased yields and scope of substrates compared to solution-phase synthesis, better crystallinity of final products, and access to products that can be formed only under mechanical activation conditions. MechSustInd aims at establishing a multi-disciplinary network of European scientists, engineers, technologists, entrepreneurs, industrialists and investors addressing the exploitation of mechanical activation in the production of chemicals through sustainable and economically convenient practices on the medium and large scales

Project results:
The main research coordination objective of this COST Action Mech@SusInd is to create a multidisciplinary, collaborative network of European and international scientists, engineers, technologists, entrepreneurs, industrialists and investors with the aim to promote fundamental and applied research in mechanochemistry and its implementation in European industry. This objective should bring mechanochemistry into the present and future technological framework of innovation and result in the competitiveness enhancement of European chemical industry.
