Well, it seems to be linear. That is, the reaction progresses linearly with the absorption of kinetic energy of the milling balls.

Faraday Discuss., 2023,241, 217-229

It is extremely difficult to study the effect of ball impacts independently of reactant mixing in a mechanochemical reaction. Unless one has the right reaction: here, the formation of the trimer of Ni(dbm)2 is exactly such a reaction. Following an in situ monitoring at different milling frequencies, using balls of different materials and sizes, using a sophisticated mechanochemistry-specific kinetic analysis, we come to a seemingly simple conclusion of a linear relationship between the absorbed energy and the reaction progress.
