This volume contains the lectures given at the Third Gordon Godfrey
International Workshop on Computational Approaches to Novel
Condensed Matter Systems which was held at The University of New
South Wales July 12-17, 1993. Lecturers from Asia, Australia,
Europe and North America gave a total of twenty-nine lectures which
were spread over the five days. Unfortunately we were not able to
include in this volume the lectures of S. Das Sarma from the
University of Maryland on "Non-Equilibrium Growth as a
Self-Organised Phenomenon" due to constraints of time. The
workshops have been held annually since 1991 in Sydney, each
covering a novel research area in condensed matter physics that is
of topical interest. Australia has a strong tradition of research
in condensed matter physics. The workshops are jointly organised by
the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales (Sydney)
and the Department of Theoretical Physics, Research School of
Physical Sciences and Engineering at the Australian National
University (Canberra). The late Gordon God frey was an Associate
Professor of Physics at the University of New South Wales. He
bequeathed his estate for the promotion and teaching of theoretical
physics within the university. The primary purpose of each workshop
is to expose post-graduate students in physics to both informal
interaction and formal lectures from recognised international
leaders in topical research areas. Past experience has demonstrated
again and again that to be informed about a new field there is no
substitute for personal contact and interaction."

Self-assembling biomaterials: molecular design, characterization
and application in biology and medicine provides a comprehensive
coverage on an emerging area of biomaterials science, spanning from
conceptual designs to advanced characterization tools and
applications of self-assembling biomaterials, and compiling the
recent developments in the field. Molecular self-assembly, the
autonomous organization of molecules, is ubiquitous in living
organisms and intrinsic to biological structures and function. Not
surprisingly, the exciting field of engineering artificial
self-assembling biomaterials often finds inspiration in Biology.
More important, materials that self-assemble speak the language of
life and can be designed to seamlessly integrate with the
biological environment, offering unique engineering opportunities
in bionanotechnology. The book is divided in five parts, comprising
design of molecular building blocks for self-assembly; exclusive
features of self-assembling biomaterials; specific methods and
techniques to predict, investigate and characterize self-assembly
and formed assemblies; different approaches for controlling
self-assembly across multiple length scales and the
nano/micro/macroscopic properties of biomaterials; diverse range of
applications in biomedicine, including drug delivery, theranostics,
cell culture and tissue regeneration. Written by researchers
working in self-assembling biomaterials, it addresses a specific
need within the Biomaterials scientific community.

Condensed matter is one of the most active fields of physics, with
a stream of discoveries in areas from superfluidity and magnetism
to the optical, electronic and mechanical properties of materials
such as semiconductors, polymers and carbon nanotubes. It includes
the study of well-characterised solid surfaces, interfaces and
nanostructures as well as studies of molecular liquids (molten
salts, ionic solutions, liquid metals and semiconductors) and soft
matter systems (colloidal suspensions, polymers, surfactants,
foams, liquid crystals, membranes, biomolecules etc) including
glasses and biological aspects of soft matter. This book presents
state-of-the-art research in this exciting field.
