We invite you to encourage non-members to join the PHYS division. It is the professional organization devoted to physical chemistry and physical chemists and can be most successful with maximum participation by physical chemists. Some of the more practical advantages of membership are:
1. Members receive, in advance, abstracts of the papers to be delivered in the Division of Physical Chemistry programs at national meetings of the ACS.
2. Members receive a newsletter with the abstracts of the National meetings listing future symposia and divisional meetings, and giving the deadlines for submission of papers to be presented at these meetings. The newsletter is included with the abstracts of papers for convenience.
3. Members receive discounts on the purchase price of the complete bound books of meeting abstracts. Discounts for other books and journals are also available, and new arrangements are negotiated from time to time.
4. The Division of Physical Chemistry is an affiliate of the American Institute of Physics, and members of the Division are eligible for a discount on various AIP publications including The Journal of Chemical Physics.
5. The Division holds a mixer at each national meeting of the ACS at which a divisional program is presented. These events are held in conjunction with a poster session and provide an excellent opportunity to meet other physical chemists.
6. Members may vote and hold office in the Division and participate in its activities. Division Affiliates may not vote and may not hold office. Members and Affiliates are invited to suggest symposium topics, speakers and organizers.
7. The Division maintains a close relationship with The Journal of Physical Chemistry. Through theDivision programs, and through cooperation with The Journal of Physical Chemistry, we seek to call attention to the vigorous and dynamic character of physical chemistry in this country, and to stimulate intellectual cross-fertilization between the different fields of research in physical chemistry.
8. The Division mounts important award symposia. The Debye, Hildebrand and Theoretical Chemistry awards are given each year, and the Langmuir Award every other year by the ACS. In addition, the Pure Chemistry and Nobel Laureate Signature awards are frequent features in Division symposia.
10. In 1978 the Division established the Theoretical Subdivision. There is no additional fee for membership in the Subdivision. The Subdivision provides special services and participates fully in developing symposium topics at the national meetings, specifically for the theoretically inclined.
12. In 1994 the Division established the Biophysical Subdivision. There is no additional fee for membership in the Subdivision. The Subdivision provides special services and participates fully in developing symposium topics at the national meetings, specifically for the biophysically inclined.
13. In 2009 the division established the Energy subdivision. There is no additional fee for membership in the Subdivision The Subdivision provides special services and participates fully in developing symposium topics at the national meetings, specifically for energy-related physical chemistry.
