What Is Soft Condensed Matter ?

2000
A well identified community of physicists has established itself over the last thirty years, which was present in the 1999 Geilo Institute. Looking back at the themes of the 14 previous institutes, it is easy to recognize constant themes throughout the meetings as well as a drift away from the initial ones.

Microrheology of soft condensed matter

2013
Microrheology is the study of the flow of matter in the micron-time, length and volume scales. The high-frequency viscoelasticity of soft condensed matters such as surfactant and polymer solutions can be precisely investigated and consequently the fast relaxation mechanisms in tandem with an accurate estimation of the characteristic length scales can ...

A Cocktail of Soft Condensed Matter

2000
Soft condensed matter physics has evolved within the last two decades into a thriving field of inquiry. Arguably, it is unique amongst all other fields in physics in the diversity of the topics it encompasses. You just have to have a look at the subjects to be covered in this School to convince yourself.

Effective interactions in soft condensed matter physics

Physics Reports, 2001
Abstract In this work, we present a review of recently achieved progress in the field of soft condensed matter physics, and in particular on the study of the static properties of solutions or suspensions of colloidal particles. The latter are macromolecular entities with typical sizes ranging from 1 nm to 1 μm and their suspension typically ...

Phase Transitions in Soft Condensed Matter

1989
This volume comprises the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Geilo, Norway, between 4 - 14 April 1989. This Institute was the tenth in a series held at Geilo on the subject of phase transitions. It was the first to be concerned with the growing area of soft condensed matter, which is neither ordinary solids nor ordinary liquids, but

FROM LDL TO SOFT CONDENSED MATTER

2009
The application of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) will be shown in the research of complex macromolecular assemblies like low density lipoproteins [1, 2]. Advanced pulsed techniques currently in use in the Laboratory for magnetic resonances at the Rudjer Boskovic Insitute will be presented in the context of the research of complex ...

The Oxford Handbook of Soft Condensed Matter

2015
Abstract This Handbook serves both as an introduction and an overview of the field of soft condensed matter. The discussion covers topics ranging from the fundamentals of colloid science to the principles and action of surfactants, modern directions of research in liquid crystals, and the key properties of foams.

Supramolecular self-assembly in soft condensed matter

2002
Abstract One of the most spectacular properties of soft matter systems is their ability to self-assemble on a hierarchy of length scales: molecules arrange themselves in supramolecular assemblies, and these assemblies in tum pack in structures that may be highly ordered, even though the units that are being packed are noncrystalline and ...
