ICS Physical Chemistry

Physical Chemistry Division of Indonesian Chemical Society is proud to launch the first issue of ICS Physical Chemistry, the first society-based international journal in Indonesia that focus on the physical chemistry field. This first issue also commemorates the 5^th anniversary of the Physical Chemistry Division that was established back in December 2015.

In this issue, a mini review on the synthesis and applications of nanoporous and nanolayered materials is written by our Editor-in-chief as a highlight to the rapid development of nanomaterials in Indonesia ("Synthesis and Application of Nanolayered and Nanoporous Materials", p1). On the cover image is the microscopic droplet formed by a finite water molecules as described by molecular dynamics simulations that illustrate the role of computer simulations in the surface science ("Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Wetting Behavior: Contact Angle Dependency on Water Potential Models", p10).
