Topic Name: A research project "Mechanochemistry"
Category: Chemical
Research persons: Prof.. Dominik Marx
Location: Bochum, Germany
Details
Prof.. Dominik Marx of the Ruhr University-Bochum (RUB), will be supported by the resources for German Research (DFG) to the tune of 1 million over 5 years under the program Reinhart Koselleck to support research projects with particularly innovative. It is the only chemist among the 6 scientists selected in this program. In his research, Prof.. Marx study the effects of mechanical stress on certain chemicals and in particular on chemical reactions.
Prof.. Marx carries out theoretical studies on chemical reactions initiated solely by mechanical forces from outside the system. This is possible only in recent years, thanks to atomic force microscopes and other sonochimiques techniques. These reactions differ fundamentally from those induced by photochemistry or heating, known for a long time, both the experience in the theory.
A task to which Prof. address. Marx is to develop simulation Mechanochemical techniques closer to reality. In addition, Prof. Marx, who works on the theme of Mechanochemistry long hoped dresser, in the long term, a general framework for understanding Mechanochemistry in its broad outlines.
Reinhart Koselleck Projects of the DFG are designed to support scientific projects that can be done either as part of work within their institution, their laboratory, either as part of a project supported by the DFG . This support program takes its name from Reinhart Koselleck, a leading German historians of the twentieth century died in 2006.
