About This Conference

This conference series, inaugurated  in 1978, brings together scientists from diverse disciplines to discuss matters of common interest in gaseous, condensed, and heterogeneous 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

The Conference will feature nine oral sessions and three poster sessions. The single-session oral presentations will consist of invited lectures and a limited number of contributed lectures.

Subject areas of interest include:

• the rates and mechanisms of gas, liquid, and
  heterogeneous reactions involving free radicals and molecules.
• the properties of free radicals, ions, and electronically excited species including:
  • thermochemistry.
  • reactivity patterns.
• the applications of theory to kinetics:
  • tunneling corrections
  • predictions of reaction mechanisms
  • development of estimation schemes.

Specific areas of applications include:

• combustion
• semiconductor processing
• atmospheric chemistry
• advanced oxidation
• plasma chemistry
• chemical vapor deposition
• free radical processes in physiological systems
• and many others.
