Covering colloids, polymers, surfactant phases, emulsions, and
granular media, Soft and Fragile Matter: Nonequilibrium Dynamics,
Metastability and Flow (PBK) provides self-contained and
pedagogical coverage of the rapidly advancing field of systems
driven out of equilibrium, with a strong emphasis on unifying
conceptual principles rather than material-specific details.
Written by internationally recognized experts, the book contains
introductions at the level of a graduate course in soft condensed
matter and statistical physics to the following areas: experimental
techniques, polymers, rheology, colloids, computer simulation,
surfactants, phase separation kinetics, driven systems, structural
glasses, slow dynamics, and granular materials. These topics lead
to a range of exciting applications at the forefront of current
research, including microplasticity of emulsions, sequence design
of copolymers, branched polymer dynamics, nucleation kinetics in
colloids, multiscale modeling, flow-induced surfactant textures,
fluid demixing under shear, two-time correlation functions, chaotic
sedimentation dynamics, and sound propagation in powders. Balancing
theory, simulation, and experiment, this broadly-based, pedagogical
account of a rapidly developing field is an excellent compendium
for graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics,
materials science, and physical chemistry.
