Summary: "The properties of everyday soft materials such as polymers, rubbers, gels, colloids, and liquid crystals that touch every aspect of our lives cannot be understood without an introduction to the fundamental science behind molecular self-assembly and the physics of these materials. Designed to provide an introduction for mid to upper-level undergraduates, this book can also provide useful resource for graduate students or more senior scientists of all levels new to the field of soft matter"-- Provided by publisher

内容説明・目次
内容説明
Soft materials such as liquid crystals, polymers, biomaterials, and colloidal systems touch every aspect of our lives. Not surprisingly, the rapid growth of these fields over the past few decades has resulted in an explosion of soft matter research groups worldwide. Fundamentals of Soft Matter Science introduces and explores the scientific study of soft matter and molecular self-assembly, covering the major classifications of materials, their structure and characteristics, and everyday applications.
Designed for beginners to the field with a basic scientific background, this readable book emphasizes conceptual understanding, minimizing detailed mathematical derivations. Each chapter is dedicated to a different group of soft materials, including liquid crystals, surfactants, polymers, colloids, and soft biomaterials. Each subject is broken down into the essential concepts: material structures and physical characteristics, some simple theoretical ideas, and important experimental methods. The book emphasizes commonly used experimental techniques and practical applications. Full color illustrations and photographs are incorporated throughout to help describe the systems and key concepts.
