Chemical Thermodynamics and Thermal Analysis is a Gold Open Access peer-review journal that publishes short communications, original research papers and reviews dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research that advances the physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena.The scope includes:Equilibrium and transport properties of gases, fluids, mixtures and solutions, solids, and interfaces.Thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering.Studies on systems with variability, such as biological or bio-based materials, gas hydrates.Manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose improvements on existing analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. In all cases, authors are encouraged to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results. Experimental methods should be described in sufficient detail to allow critical assessment of the accuracy claimed.The Journal welcomes review articles, but prospective authors should first consult one of the Editors concerning the suitability of the proposed review.
