“…For example, mechanochemical covalent chemical reactions have been reported ( Andersen and Mack, 2018b ; Bolm and Hernández, 2019 ; Tan and García, 2019 ), spanning classical condensation ( Haferkamp et al, 2019 ) or cyclization ( Andersen and Mack, 2017 ) reactions through to metal-catalyzed ( Pickhardt et al, 2020 ) or piezocatalyzed reactions ( Kubota et al, 2019 ). Regarding inorganic materials, syntheses and modifications have been described for hydrated oxides ( MacKenzie et al, 1999 ; Mehrotra et al, 2016 ; Alex et al, 2020 ), mixed oxides and ceramics ( Balaz et al, 1994 ; Mackenzie et al, 2000 ; Temuujin et al, 2000 ; MacKenzie and Barneveld, 2006 ), silicates ( Temuujin et al, 1998a ; Temuujin et al, 1998b ; MacKenzie et al, 2007 ), and high entropy alloys ( Kumar et al, 2017 ; Balcerzak et al, 2019 ; Kamalakannan et al, 2019 ), amongst many others. We note that the pictographic representation is equally applicable to any reactions that occur as a result of mechanical action from across all aspects of chemical reactivity, Figure 14 .…”
