Interactions between physical and industrial chemistry. The most important interactions for the two areas of chemistry are found in the following three fields: (1)states of materials (states of aggregation) and thermodynamics; (2) kinetics of molecular processes as a basis for macroscopic models; (3) methods of testing and measurement and development of equipment. The „classical state” of each of these areas is first sketched out and then the principal developments which are still in course of flux; directions of future development are then deduced. Such directions are exposed to be: extension of the scope of application of supercritical states as solvents and reaction media, as part of a general expansion of industrial application of elevated pressures; increase in knowledge of nonlinear dynamics of chemical systems with regard to transient behaviour and control mechanisms; increase in basic research on molecular structure and dynamics at the interfaces of dispersed systems – especially micelles and catalyst surface – using „in situ” methods, and more extensive utilization of the results in industrial chemistry.
