Soft Condensed Matter Physics [PDF]
Solid State Communications, 1996 Soft condensed matter physics is the study of materials, such as fluids, liquid crystals, polymers, colloids, and emulsions, that are ``soft" to the touch.

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2002 These lectures illustrate some of the concepts of soft-condensed matter physics, taking examples from colloid physics. Many of the theoretical concepts will be illustrated with the results of computer simulations. After a brief introduction describing interactions between colloids, the paper focuses on colloidal phase behavior (in particular, entropic ...

Viruses and the physics of soft condensed matter [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Almost 50 years ago, Francis Crick and James Watson observed that “almost all small viruses are either spheres or rods” and put forth the hypothesis that such viruses were symmetrical arrays of subunits (1). In the following paper in that issue of Nature , Donald Caspar demonstrated that tomato bushy stunt virus had at least cubic symmetry and provided

Soft condensed matter for the conservation of cultural heritage [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Chimie, 2008 This paper reports on the application of Soft Condensed Matter to the Conservation of Cultural Heritage and is manly based on the conversation that one of the authors (Piero Baglioni) had with Pierre Gilles de Gennes during his last visit to Florence.

Shock (Blast) Mitigation by “Soft” Condensed Matter [PDF]
MRS Proceedings, 2002 ABSTRACTIt is a common point that “soft” condensed matter (like granular materials or foams) can reduce damage caused by impact or explosion. It is attributed to their ability to absorb significant energy. This is certainly the case for quasistatic type of deformation at low velocity of impact widely used for packing of fragile devices.

Azobenzene isomerization in condensed matter: lessons for the design of efficient light-responsive soft-matter systems [PDF]
, 2021 Azobenzene-based materials have found applications in a wide variety of systems as a convenient method to induce photo-responsive behaviour through facile trans (E) to cis (Z) isomerization.
