Written by an expert in the field, this book will be an essential reference for people working in both industry and academia and will aid in understanding of this increasingly popular topic. Back cover copy Soft matter materials include polymers, colloids, emulsions, amphiphiles, surfactants, membranes, liquid crystals and biomaterials. Although these materials seem very different, they have common structural and dynamic properties that are somewhere between those of crystalline solids and simple molecular liquids and gases.
Soft matter is an interdisciplinary subject drawing not only from physics, chemistry and materials science but also from biology, biochemistry and engineering. These materials have a wide range of applications, such as in structural and packaging materials, foams and adhesives, detergents and cosmetics, paints, food additives and biological materials. Written in an "easy-to-follow style", this textbook provides an introduction to this exciting subject with chapters covering natural and synthetic polymers, colloids, surfactants, biological soft matter and liquid crystals and the many and varied applications of these materials.
It has been newly edited and has chapters with updated coverage of recent aspects of polymer science. A series of questions and answers is also provided at the end of each chapter. The book contains a new chapter on biological soft matter, which adds significantly to the discussion of proteins, DNA and lipid membranes in the previous edition. The book will appeal to students of polymer, biomaterial, colloid, surface and interface science. Experienced researchers in the field will also find this a good introductory text for revising their knowledge of the basics.
Reviews of the First Edition A timely and concise textbook on soft matter suitable for both undergraduate students and researchers.
Advanced Materials It is well written in an easy-to-follow style and deals with some quite complex topics by good use of analogy and comparison. Chemistry in Britain show more. Table of contents Preface to the revised Edition.
Preface to the First Edition. Further Reading. Many basic concepts, which are required in advanced courses of condensed matter physics, such as coarse Cited by: "This monography on soft condensed matter originates from a series of lectures given by the authors. The book is clearly written by two world leading experts of the field, it is an excellent basis for a third cycle course on the physics of liquid crystals.
Introductions to solid state physics have, ever since the initial book by F. Seitz inconcentrated on simple crystals, with few atoms per cell, bonded together by strong ionic, covalent, or meta. This book presents the theory of soft matter to students at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. It provides a basic introduction to theoretical physics as applied to soft matter, explaining the concepts of symmetry, broken symmetry, and order parameters; phases and phase transitions; mean-field theory; and the mathematics of variational calculus and Brand: Springer International Publishing.
The book will appeal to students of polymer, biomaterial, colloid, surface and interface science. Soft matter or soft condensed matter is a subfield of condensed matter comprising a variety of physical systems that are deformed or structurally altered by thermal or mechanical stress of the magnitude of thermal fluctuations. They include liquids, colloids, polymers, foams, gels, granular materials, liquid crystals, and a number of biological materials.
This book presents a compilation of self-contained chapters covering a wide range of topics within the broad field of soft condensed matter. Each chapter starts with basic definitions to bring the reader up-to-date on the topic at hand, describing how to use fluid flows to generate soft materials of high value either for applications or for basic research.
