Sow-Hsin Chen, Piero TartagliaCambridge University Press, 4/9/2015EAN 9780521883801, ISBN10: 0521883806Hardcover, 400 pages, 25.3 x 18 x 2.2 cmLanguage: EnglishSummarising recent r esearch on the physics of complex liquids, this in-depth analysis examines the topic of complex liquids from a modern perspective, addressing experimental, computational and theoretical aspects of the field. Selecting only the most interesting contemporary developments in this rich field of research, the authors present multiple examples including aggregation, gel formation and glass transition, in systems undergoing percolation, at criticality, or in supercooled states. Connecting experiments and simulation with key theoretical principles, and covering numerous systems including micelles, micro-emulsions, biological systems, and cement pastes, this unique text is an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers looking to explore and understand the expanding field of complex fluids.PrefacePart I.
