9780792346074: Theoretical Challenges in the Dynamics of Complex Fluids: 339

Sinossi

The work is designed for postgraduates as an introduction to theoretical methods in the area of soft condensed matter, containing descriptions of dynamics and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Since the mid-1980s connections have been made between polymers, colloids, liquid crystals and self-assemblies, and these have greatly assisted our understanding of a growing amount of experimental data on their dynamic properties: light scattering, rheology, flow-induced phase transitions, X-ray and neutron scattering. This work is suitable as a graduate text as well as for the seasoned researcher. Many contributions conclude with research material stimulated by the discussions at the ASI that gave rise to the book.
