Mechanochemistry (or Tribochemistry) is usually defined as a science dealing with the chemical and physicochemical changes of substances due to the influence of mechanical energy [23] (see Appendix A for other definitions of mechanochemistry). On the other hand, the term tribology is commonly used to refer to the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion with respect to friction, lubrication, and wear [41].
