Produktbeschreibung

This detailed reference offers a comprehensive overview of the science and technology of soft materials, including synthetic polymers, complex fluids, and biological and food materials. The authors take an interdisciplinary approach and utilize an abundance of experimental and computational techniques to illustrate the relationship between the structure, dynamics, and function of soft materials. Divided into four sections on synthetic polymers, complex fluids, biomaterials, and food materials, the book supplies more than 1000 references, tables, and equations and offers an excellent introduction to the study of soft material physics and utilization.
