Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and Its Applications, 2002 Abstract The physics of soft condensed matter is probably one of the most 'fashionable' areas in the physical sciences today. This book offers a coherent and clear introduction to the properties and behaviour of soft matter. It begins with a treatment of the general underlying principles: the relation of the structure and dynamics of ...

Soft condensed matter physics [PDF]
Solid State Communications, 1997 Soft condensed matter physics is the study of materials, such as fluids, liquid crystals, polymers, colloids, and emulsions, that are ``soft" to the touch. This article will review some properties, such as the dominance of entropy, that are unique to soft materials and some properties such as the interplay between broken-symmetry, dynamic mode ...

Knots in soft condensed matter [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2015 Understanding the mechanism by which a polypeptide chain thread itself spontaneously to attain a knotted conformation has been a major challenge in the field of protein folding. HP0242 is a homodimeric protein from Helicobacter pylori with intertwined helices to form a unique pseudo-knotted folding topology.

Positron Kinetics in Soft Condensed Matter [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2009 We outline a new kinetic theory for positrons in soft matter, which blends together cross sections for positrons scattering from single molecules, with the structure function of the medium as a whole. Numerical results are presented for positrons in liquid argon, where negative differential conductivity arises from both positron formation and the ...

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

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.

Neutron reflectivity and soft condensed matter
Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2002 Abstract During the last 10–15 years neutron reflectivity has emerged as a powerful and important technique for the study of surfaces and interfaces. The selectivity and sensitivity afforded by deuterium/hydrogen exchange makes the technique particularly attractive for application to the broad field of colloid and interface science.

Soft condensed matter for the conservation of cultural heritage
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.
