Mechano-chemical reaction

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.MT07141
Chemical reaction that is induced by the direct absorption of mechanical energy.
Note:
Shearing, stretching, and grinding are typical methods for the mechano-chemical generation of reactive sites, usually macroradicals, in polymer chains that undergo mechano-chemical reactions.
