Transactions H, The objective of this transaction is to encompass all aspects of:

- Chemical Engineering: reporting on industrial and academic research within the broad fields of chemical and biomolecular/biochemical engineering. Papers may be based on experimental, computational, theoretical, mathematical, or descriptive work, covering chemical, physical, or biological aspects. We particularly welcome accounts of research that combine multiple approaches (e.g., experimentation with validation by modeling or vice versa). We aim to present reports on significant fundamental research advances drawing on core areas such as thermodynamics, transport phenomena, chemical reaction kinetics and engineering, catalysis, separations, and process systems engineering. In addition, we invite reports on significant advances in product research and development that utilize chemical and engineering principles to enhance or create new catalysts, plastics, sorbents, membranes, and advanced functional materials. Examples include materials for controlled delivery, storage, or energy conversion.
