Descriptions of each method, followed by examples on sustainability aspects and applications give readers a better understanding and realization of its possibilities. Mechanochemistry, a nonconventional method for inducing the chemical reaction by application of mechanical energy in solid state, has been recognized as beneficial as mechanochemically conducted reactions hold diverse environmental sustainability advantages in manufacturing processes.
- Outlines the background of the field, as well as considerations of mechanochemistry
- Expands on green chemistry and sustainable chemistry
- Covers several examples of the implementation of the technique, from traditional organic synthesis to catalysis, cocrystals, and polymorphism to materials and polymers
Graduate students and researchers working with Synthetic Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Sustainable Chemistry, and Environmental Chemistry

Davor Margetic
Dr. Davor Margetić is senior research scientist and acting head of the division of organic chemistry and biochemistry at Ruđer Bošković research Institute in Zagreb, Croatia. He is the head of the laboratory for physical organic chemistry and Professor of physical organic chemistry at Rijeka University.He graduated with a degree in chemical engineering at Zagreb University and continued in the field of organic syntheses with Ms.Sc. and Ph.D. studies in the field of theoretical and physical organic chemistry (Zagreb). The completion of his Ph.D. was followed by a postdoctoral research studies at the Centre for Molecular Architecture, Central Queensland University, Australia. There he worked with Professors Ronald Warrener and Doug Butler for 9 years (synthetic organic and computational chemistry). In 2002, he returned to Croatia to take up a position at RBI, and in 2009 he was promoted to senior research scientist (an equivalent of full professor at the university). Research interests of Dr. Margetić include the synthesis and investigation of theoretically interesting molecules, the study of reaction mechanisms, computational organic chemistry, and the development of environmentally-friendly organic reactions using novel techniques (extreme high pressures, microwave irradiation, and mechanochemistry). During his scientific career, Dr. Margetić has published 90 research papers, 42 electronic conference papers, and 9 book chapters. He has authored one book: "Microwave Assisted Cycloaddition Reactions" with Nova Science Publishers, New York (2011); and edited two books: Croatica Chemica ActA Special issue dedicated to the 70th birthday of Professor Z. B. Maksić (2009), and Special issue dedicated to 70th birthday of Professor M. Eckert-Maksić (2014).
