Soft matter covers a wide range of materials based on linear or branched polymers, gels and
rubbers, amphiphilic (macro) molecules, colloids, and self-assembled structures. These …

Soft matter has evolved considerably since it became recognized as a unified field. This has
been driven by new experimental, numerical and theoretical methods to probe soft matter …

The number of applications of informatics or data‐driven discovery is growing in many fields,
including materials science. The large amount of data that is readily available, combined …

The mechanical properties of soft matter are of great importance in countless applications, in
addition of being an active field of academic research. Given the relative ease with which …

Soft materials are usually defined as materials made of mesoscopic entities, often self-
organised, sensitive to thermal fluctuations and to weak perturbations. Archetypal examples …

As its name implies, soft matter science deals with materials that are easily deformed. These
materials, which include polymers, gels, colloids, emulsions, foams, surfactant assemblies …

Soft materials consist of basic units that are significantly larger than an atom but much
smaller than the overall dimensions of the sample. The label “soft condensed matter” …

This revised edition continues to provide the most approachable introduction to the structure,
characteristics, and everyday applications of soft matter. It begins with a substantially revised …

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 …

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 …
