Quotes
Physical chemistry is done by chemists who do chemistry as if it were physics. Generalities are established and simplicities introduced, and matter-specific behavior is not considered to be of primary interest. Physical chemistry is understandably popular and materials chemists hunting for useful techniques will notice that it has a lot to offer but they might find that not all of it is as advertised. At best its methods are valuable but remain semiquantitative.
