🖥️ Yesterday, we hosted the final instalment in our #webinar series. Thanks to Maria Carta and to all the speakers who have taken part in these sessions. You can still access our previous sessions on the IMPACTIVE YouTube channel. Enjoy! 😊 buff.ly/gRuc32q

Bead mills are another key technique we use ⚙️ These devices use fixed pieces to make chemicals collide. This generates high-energy collisions between particles through shear, impact and shock, driving #mechanochemical reactions. 🔗 Discover more: buff.ly/J08jcA

We’ve just came back from Montpellier after celebrating our final general assembly. Many thanks to our management and coordination team at @umontpellier for hosting us. It's been two wonderful days! 💚 buff.ly/7Aw7jje

💊 🇪🇺 Mechanochemistry is an opportunity to reduce our reliance on shaky supply chains and strengthening European leadership during emergencies. The result is the democratisation of the development of life-saving medicines. #MechanoMondays

Everything comes to an end. Our IMPACTIVE project is officially ending this month, which means today’s post is the last of our #MechanoMondays series. 🧵 👇

We hope to have contributed – and to continue contributing – to giving #mechanochemistry a chance to make chemistry more sustainable. And that sentence is not yours, but from this article that we highly recommend: buff.ly/9aCPsLI The future is green 💚

Adjusting the rotational velocity in a ball mill is critical for achieving optimal mechanochemical reactions. 🏃‍♀️ As the drum mill begins to rotate and the speed increases, the balls and components behave differently. 🧵👇

Centrifuging: When a critical speed is reached, the balls remain stuck against the mill’s walls. This is not very useful for grinding and crushing, proving that, sometimes, less is more.

⚙️Ideally, we aim for a balance of cascading and cataracting motion, striking a balance between abrasion and impact breakage while avoiding inefficient centrifuging.

🏭💊 From the moment a drug is conceived to the point it heals us, many steps take place. We're talking about the #pharmaceutical supply chain. It’s quite a complex chain, requiring careful coordination & regulations that ensure safe & effective #medicines.
