This book presents a unified view of the physicochemical origin of
the mechanical behaviour of gases, simple solids and liquids,
suspensions, polymers, emulsions, foams, and granular materials,
along with techniques for measuring that behaviour. Besides
molecular materials in all their classical gaseous, solid, or
liquid states, we deal daily with a number of other materials made
of coarser elements such as polymers, cells, grains, bubbles, and
droplets. They take on the familiar appearance of paints, inks,
cements, muds, foams, emulsions, toothpastes, gels, etc. These
materials exhibit complex structures and sometimes amazing types of
mechanical behaviour, often intermediate between those of a simple
liquid and a simple solid. From a practical standpoint, the aim is
to analyze their internal evolution (aging, restructuring, phase
separation, etc.), then to formulate these materials in accordance
with the desired properties, and thereby devise new materials. With
that aim in mind, it is crucial to understand how these materials
deform or flow, depending on the interactions and structures formed
by the elements they contain. This book is intended for students as
well as more advanced researchers in mechanics, physics, chemistry,
and biology. The mathematical formalism is reduced in order to
focus on physical explanations.
