Description for Soft Matter Physics
Hardback. Soft matter (polymers, colloids, surfactants, liquid crystals) are an important class of materials for modern and future technologies. They are complex materials that behave neither like a fluid nor a solid. This book describes the characteristics of such materials and how we can understand such characteristics in the language of physics. Num Pages: 272 pages, 124 b/w line illustrations. BIC Classification: PHFC1. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 252 x 190 x 20. Weight in Grams: 688.
Soft matter (polymers, colloids, surfactants and liquid crystals) are an important class of materials in modern technology. They also form the basis of many future technologies, for example in medical and environmental applications. Soft matter shows complex behaviour between fluids and solids, and used to be a synonym of complex materials. Due to the developments of the past two decades, soft condensed matter can now be discussed on the same sound physical basis as solid condensed matter. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of soft matter for undergraduate and graduate students in physics and materials science. ... Read more
