Description

Soft Condensed Matter provides a clear and coherent introduction to the properties and behaviour of soft matter. The book begins by exploring the general principles underlying the structure and dynamics of solids and liquids, as well as the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transitions.

The specific properties of colloids, polymers, liquid crystals, and self-assembling amphiphilic systems are then treated within this framework. A concluding chapter illustrates how principles of soft matter physics can be used to understand properties of biological systems.

This book is suitable for students with either a theoretical or experimental bias, making it an ideal choice for final year undergraduates and beginning graduate students in physics, chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering.
