Soft matter with soft particles
Soft Matter, 2006In 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

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 ...

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.

Hydrodynamics of soft active matter
Reviews of Modern Physics, 2013This review summarizes theoretical progress in the field of active matter, placing it in the context of recent experiments. This approach offers a unified framework for the mechanical and statistical properties of living matter: biofilaments and molecular motors in vitro or in vivo, collections of motile microorganisms, animal flocks, and chemical or ...

Soft matter from liquid crystals.
Soft Matter, 2019Liquid crystals (LCs) are fluids within which molecules exhibit long-range orientational order, leading to anisotropic properties such as optical birefringence and curvature elasticity.

Viewing Earth’s surface as a soft-matter landscape
Nature Reviews Physics, 2019Earth’s surface is composed of a staggering diversity of particulate–fluid mixtures: dry to wet, dilute to dense, colloidal to granular and attractive to repulsive particles.
