Applied Chemistry (APC)

Section Information

Applied Chemistry focuses on using chemical principles, reactions, and materials to solve practical problems in industry, healthcare, agriculture, energy, and the environment. It connects fundamental chemistry with real-world applications that support innovation and sustainable development.

Modern applied chemistry spans materials design, catalysis, polymer science, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, environmental remediation, and chemical process development. It relies on analytical tools, modeling, and engineering approaches to optimize performance, safety, and efficiency.

This section will publish research articles, short communications, and reviews on industrial chemistry, applied materials, catalysis, environmental applications, chemical engineering interfaces, and emerging technologies that translate chemical knowledge into practical solutions.
