The noun 'chemistry' is used in two ways.

1. When the word chemistry is used with reference to the general field of scientific study of substances, it is a 'mass' noun, and is therefore uncountable [Ref: Wiktionary: chemistry(1)] and does not have a plural form.

2. The word chemistry is also used to refer to 'the application of chemical theory and method to a particular substance' - Ref: Wictionary: chemistry(2)

In this sense the noun is countable, and the plural form is chemistries.

Example sentence: The surface chemistries of hydrophobic aerogel and hydrophilic aerogel differ.
