Observation, Prediction and Simulation of Phase Transitions in
Complex Fluids presents an overview of the phase transitions that
occur in a variety of soft-matter systems: colloidal suspensions of
spherical or rod-like particles and their mixtures, directed
polymers and polymer blends, colloid--polymer mixtures, and
liquid-forming mesogens. This modern and fascinating branch of
condensed matter physics is presented from three complementary
viewpoints. The first section, written by experimentalists,
emphasises the observation of basic phenomena (by light scattering,
for example). The second section, written by theoreticians, focuses
on the necessary theoretical tools (density functional theory, path
integrals, free energy expansions). The third section is devoted to
the results of modern simulation techniques (Gibbs ensemble, free
energy calculations, configurational bias Monte Carlo). The
interplay between the disciplines is clearly illustrated. For all
those interested in modern research in equilibrium statistical
mechanics.
