The fourth volume in this series focuses on biological membrane
science, in particular its biophysics. Clearly divided into two
parts, the first covers red blood cell shapes, while the second
part on molecular simulation provides in-depth information on how
to make significant progress with membrane characterization by
means of models, and how to refine them by comparing them to
experiments.
The result is a highly relevant monograph for both an understanding
of the biophysical concepts as well as of novel applications.
Soft Matter encompasses a wide range of systems of varying
components, including synthetic and biological polymers, colloids,
and amphiphiles. The distinguishing features of these systems is
their characteristic size, which is much larger than that of their
atomic counterparts, and their characteristic energy, which is much
smaller. Because of their ability to assemble themselves into
complex structures, they form the major components of biological
systems and technological applications.
"Soft matter" is a unique series of books that strongly stresses
the interdisciplinary character of this thriving field of research.
The first volume offers a detailed description of the physical
aspects of polymers, such as polymer dynamics in melts, and complex
structure and
phase behavior of mixtures of homopolymers with block copolymers.
With contributions from highly acclaimed experts, it differs from
the very specialized or proceedings-type books currently
available.
Aimed at both graduates and researchers, the book is an
introduction to soft matter physics as well as a concise reference
for those already working in this field.
