Aims & Scope

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry is a leading international journal devoted to publishing excellent quality research articles primarily on chemical reactions and reactors induced by ultrasonic waves, namely sonochemistry. In addition to focusing on chemical reactions, Ultrasonics Sonochemistry also values contributions related to cavitation (acoustic or hydrodynamic) induced events and processing such as sonoluminescence, and chemical/physical/biological transformation of materials. Ultrasonics Sonochemistry publishes excellent quality papers in a number of areas involving ultrasonics and sonochemistry. Since its establishment in 1994, the journal's ranking has been consistently high and currently the top ranked journal in the "Acoustics" category. Papers published in Ultrasonics Sonochemistry are highly relevant to academics and the industry sector.
