About the Conference
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists
from different disciplines to discover matters of common interest in chemical kinetics.
Chemical kinetics is a fundamental tool for the understanding and control of complex
chemical processes, both directly by providing rate data on the elementary reactions
involved, and indirectly by an improved understanding of the reactivity patterns and the
thermodynamics of reactive intermediates. Many reaction types and intermediates are of key
importance in a number of different areas and under widely different conditions. Often,
investigators in one field are unaware of studies carried out in another field which may
provide useful insights. This is particularly true if different physical phases are
involved.
Topics
Subject areas of interest
include:
- the rates and mechanisms of gas, liquid, and heterogeneous reactions of free radicals and molecules.
- the properties of free radicals, ions, and electronically excited
species including:
- thermochemistry.
- reactivity patterns.
- development of estimation schemes.
- the application of theory to explain and predict reactivity.
Specific areas of
applications include:
- combustion
- atmospheric chemistry
- advanced oxidation
- plasma chemistry
- chemical vapor deposition
- free radical processes in physiological systems
- and many others.
