	Physical chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physical Chemistry is the combined science of physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics which functions to provide molecular-level interpretations of observed macroscopic phenomena.
		Most cite Willard Gibbs as the founder of physical chemistry as stemming from his 1876 paper: “On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances”, wherein such cornerstones as free energy, chemical potential, and phase rule were developed.
		Physical chemistry is also fundamental to modern materials science.

		Physical chemists' discoveries are based on understanding chemical properties and describing the behavior of molecular and condensed matter using theoretical constructs and mathematical computations.
		Physical chemists work in a variety of different industries, but their common goal is to discover, test, and understand the fundamental physical characteristics of a material-be it solid, liquid, or gas.
		Because training in physical chemistry provides a strong understanding of the dominant structural and dynamical merits of real materials, many physical chemists are redirecting their skills into applications research and interdisciplinary fields such as materials science.

	Chemists and materials scientists
		Chemists who hold a Ph.D. and have previous industrial experience may be particularly attractive to employers because such people are more likely to understand the complex regulations that apply to the pharmaceutical industry.
		Chemists also will be needed to develop and improve the technologies and processes used to produce chemicals for all purposes, and to monitor and measure air and water pollutants to ensure compliance with local, State, and Federal environmental regulations.
		The research and analysis conducted by chemists and materials scientists is closely related to work done by agricultural and food scientists, biological scientists, medical scientists, chemical engineers, materials engineers, physicists and astronomers, and science technicians.
