IMPACTIVE: European mechanochemists develop greener pharmaceuticals

Author(s): Evelina Colacino and IMPACTIVE.
The first edition of the IMPACTIVE webinar series, featuring Evelina Colacino, IMPACTIVE project coordinator. In it, she explains all about the project and how mechanochemistry can help address shortages in the European pharmaceutical supply chain.

Online tools

Electron scattering and cross section calculator

Author: Dominik Lungerich.
This platform is designed to streamline calculations related to electron beam interactions, specifically Knock-on Displacement Cross Sections (σKO) and Ionization Cross Sections (σrBEB). By leveraging well-established theoretical equations, the calculator enables researchers to effortlessly compute essential scattering and energy parameters by simply entering the required inputs.

A method to predict binary eutectic mixtures for mechanochemical syntheses and cocrystallizations

Author(s): Michele Prencipe, Paolo P. Mazzeo and Alessia Bacchi.

The prediction of the phase behaviour of a mixture of solid components when they come into contact is of high interest in fast growing research fields such as mechanochemistry and deep eutectic solvents (DESs). This paper provides a friendly predictive tool (PoEM, i.e. Predictor of Eutectic Mixtures), along with some guidelines and quantitative references, to quickly estimate the variation in the melting point due to the mixture of reactants for a mechanochemical process.

Ball mill calculator

Author(s): Dominik Lungerich, Clément Cabanetos, Jongseong Park, Sol Lee and Orein F. Jafter.
A general calculation method for traversing synthetic protocols derived from mixer or planetary ball mills; finding the point impact energy Eimpact of a single collision between the ball and the molecules, and the cumulative energy Etotal, which is transferred to the reaction mixture during the whole milling process.
