The Oxford Handbook of Soft Condensed Matter
2015Abstract 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.

Phase Transitions in Soft Condensed Matter
1989This 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

EMERGENT PHENOMENA IN CONDENSED MATTER, SOFT MATTER AND COMPLEX SYSTEMS
2021Physical systems composed of a large number of reciprocally interacting constituents provide the natural context for the rise of emergent phenomena. Despite the intrinsic difficulty in providing a mathematical definition of what is meant for ?emergence? (see [Baas, in Langton, Alife III, Santa Fe Studies in the Sciences of Complexity, Proc. Volume XVII,

Microrheology of soft condensed matter
2013Microrheology 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 ...

FROM LDL TO SOFT CONDENSED MATTER
2009The 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 ...

Effective interactions in soft condensed matter physics
Physics Reports, 2001Abstract 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 ...

Image acquisition and analysis in soft condensed matter
2010Introduction Fast and affordable computing power, especially in the form of personal computers and workstations, has enabled the expansion of the study of soft condensed matter physics over the last two decades. The use of computing power to not only analyze image data but acquire it from high-resolution and high-speed digital sources has also made ...

Supramolecular self-assembly in soft condensed matter
2002Abstract 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 ...
