Reaction Dynamics and Kinetics

The School has internationally recognised expertise on reaction kinetics and mechanism in the gaseous (combustion and small molecule reactions), solution (inorganic substitution, electron transfer and catalysis), solid and heterogeneous phases. This expertise ranges from industrial processes (polymerisation, combustion and catalysis) to fundamental and theoretical studies on how chemical reactions take place.
