Observation, Prediction and Simulation of Phase Transitions in Complex Fluids

Observation, Prediction and Simulation of Phase Transitions in Complex Fluids edited by Marc Baus, L.F Rull, Jean-Paul Ryckaert.

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--poly...
