Isothermal titration calorimetry: practical approaches and current applications in soft matter.

Soft Matter, 2020
Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) elucidates the thermodynamic profile (ΔH, ΔS, ΔG, Ka, and stoichiometry) of binding and dissociation reactions in solution. While ITC has primarily been used to investigate the thermodynamics of interactions between

Multiple degrees‐of‐freedom programmable soft‐matter‐photonics: Configuration, manipulation, and advanced applications

Responsive Materials
For centuries, humans have never stopped exploring the nature of light and manipulating it, since light carries multiple information through its intrinsic wave‐particle dualism, including wavelength, amplitude, phase, polarization, spin/orbital angular ...

Topological and physical links in soft matter systems

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2021
Linking, or multicomponent topological entanglement, is ubiquitous in soft matter systems, from mixtures of polymers and DNA filaments packed in vivo to interlocked line defects in liquid crystals and intertwined synthetic molecules.

Soft-Matter Nanotubes: A Platform for Diverse Functions and Applications.

Chemical Reviews, 2020
Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such as carbon and other inorganic nanotubes.

Soft matter nanoscopy

Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2018
Abstract Super-resolution microscopy (SRM), also known as nanoscopy, has gained ground in the past decade as a valuable imaging and characterization tool to investigate sub-μm architectures. Widespread is its usage in cell biology and biophysics, while visualization of the inner life of man-made materials is still in its infancy. In this contribution,

Soft matter with soft particles

Soft Matter, 2006
In this review we present a summary of recent progress achieved in examining the equilibrium and dynamical properties of concentrated solutions of two novel kinds of soft matter systems: and starburst molecules known as . The two systems share a host of interesting properties. The both consist of highly branched polymers, they allow for tuning of their

A Matter of Softness

2015
Biological matter like membranes are soft materials. Soft materials have a number of unusual properties that are very different from those of traditional hard materials such as metals, ceramics, semi-conductors, and composites. Lipid membranes are soft because they are basically structured liquids made of molecules with substantial conformational ...

Introduction to Soft Matter

2015
In this introductory chapter we introduce the basic features and building blocks of soft matter focusing in particular on the role of interfaces. As the fundamentals of the behaviour of particles, surfactants, and polymers at interfaces are described, several classical physico-chemical concepts are introduced.
