Petr Rehbinder The Soviet physical chemist discovered that a film of lubricant weakens the surfaces of materials, especially metals and rocks. This was an early example of the influence of mechanochemical effects.

Did you know surface-active substances can make materials softer? Petr Rehbinder’s research on this phenomenon advanced materials science and was an early example of mechanochemistry. Learn more in this @sciencehistory.org feature: www.sciencehistory.org/education/sc...
