OXIDATION COMMUNICATIONS acts as an international focus for modern fundamental and technological research in this rapidly developing field of science of exclusive importance for life. The main topics and examples of specific areas of interest to the Journal are: a) gas-, liquid-, and solid-phase oxidation processes; b) the mechanism of action of inhibitors during the stabilisation of fuels, lubricating oils and greases, polymer materials and foodstuffs; c) oxidation reactions in the presence of homogeneous, heterogeneous, immobilised and enzymic catalytic systems; d) regulators of selective oxidation synthesis of valuable oxygen-containing compounds; e) biological and biochemical oxidation processes,medical image processing; neural networks and fuzzy logic techniques; f) photochemical oxy-reduction interactions; g) methods for prognosis and evaluation of performance terms or/and storage terms of the materials, as mentioned above in b); h) tribochemical interactions on metal and other surfaces in the presence of molecular oxygen or its activated species; i) methods for solar and chemical energy accumulation; j) studies on the nature of intermediates, generated in the course of oxidation; k) technological aspects of oxidation processes of special interest to the petrochemistry, pharmaceutics, food and agrochemical industries ,engineering application and information sciences; civil and mechanical engineering;...etc.
