title: Better understanding of mechanochemical reactions: Raman monitoring reveals surprisingly simple 'pseudo-fluid' model for a ball milling reaction.
abstract: Quantitative monitoring of a mechanochemical reaction by Raman spectroscopy leads to a surprisingly straightforward second-order kinetic model in which the rate is determined simply by the frequency of reactive collisions between reactant particles.
