“…[1,2,3,4] Ball mills provide one of the most common tools for mechanical stimulation of solid state processes such as phase transitions, [5,6,7] solid-solid reactions [8,9,10,11,12] decompositions, [13,14] as well as degradation [15,16,17] and amorphization [18] of polymers. Ball mills are capable of producing high strain fields that allow for initiating the aforementioned processes without heating.…”
