Scope of Physical Chemistry

Scope of Physical chemistry in Pakistan and other countries
Physical chemists find employment in a wide range of settings, including almost 
1.every industry
2.government agency
3.research institute
4.educational institution
5.Industries employing physical chemists are as diverse as
6.plastics
7.ceramics
8.catalysis
9.electronics
10.pharmaceuticals
11.surfactants
12.colloids
13.personal care products.
Physical chemists work in a variety of different industries, but their common goal is to discover, test, and understand the fundamental physical characteristics of a material—be it solid, liquid, or gas.
They work with both their minds and hands, manipulating complex sets of data and operating sophisticated lab instrumentation.
14.Physical chemists also work in such areas as environmental and analytical chemistry.
Materials science, nanoscale science, and chemical biology are growing fields for physical chemists,
and the emerging field of molecular modeling uses all the basic skills of these scientists.
15.Physical chemists who go into management spend time supervising other scientists, reviewing department needs and goals, and meeting with business managers in their companies
16. Physical chemists today perform such diverse activities as
(a) conducting chemical engineering research for computers,
(b) developing sensors for bio-agent detection or for medical diagnostics,
(c)discovering new enzymes with optimal surface interactions for pharmaceuticals
(d)developing films that allow imaging on polyester materials
(e)developing an understanding of pollutant movement in groundwater
(f) inventing new applications of quantum mechanics in areas such as quantum computing
