Abstract: The effects of the hydrostatic and shear-inducing pressure on the physicochemical properties of solids are analysed. The mechanochemical reactions and mechanical activation are illustrated with various types of chemical transformations ranging from polymorph transitions to solid-state reactions. The prospects for the use of mechanochemistry for the solution of applied problems are discussed.
