''The Journal of Physical Chemistry B'' is a
peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers research on several fields of material
chemistry (macromolecules, soft matter, and
surfactants) as well as
statistical mechanics,
thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and temperature, and their relation to energy, entropy, and the physical properties of matter and radiation. The behavior of these quantities is governed by the four laws of th ...
