Nanostructured Soft Matter – A. V. Zvelindovsky (Ed.)

This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of a new and broad class of materials under the unified name nanostructured soft matter. It covers materials ranging from short amphiphile molecules to block copolymers, proteins, colloids and their composites, microemulsions and bio-inspired systems, like vesicles. The book shines light on the fundamental question: how self-assembly of various soft materials with internal structure at nano-scale can be understood, controlled and in future used in the new emerging field known as soft nano-technology.

The book offers readers a view on the subject from different perspectives combining modern experimental approaches of physical chemistry and physics, with various theoretical techniques from physics, mathematics and the most advanced computer modelling, which makes it the first book of this sort in the field. Each chapter is written by world leading experts, bringing together experience from Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, The Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, Spain and USA. The book is oriented towards active researchers as well as undergraduate and graduate students.
