Modeling of Soft Matter

Modeling of Soft Matter edited by Maria-Carme T. Calderer, Eugene M. Terentjev.

The physics of soft matter - materials such as elastomers, gels, foams and liquid crystals - is an area of intense interest and contemporary study. Moreover, soft matter plays a role in a wide variety of important processes and application. For example, gel swelling and dynamics are an essential par...
