Résumé

Soft matter science explores materials such as polymers, colloids, liquid crystals, and foams. Drawing on physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering, soft matter links fundamental scientific ideas to everyday phenomena such as"inkiness" and "stickiness", with a rich history and philosophy. This Very Short Introduction delves into the field of soft matter, looking beneath the appearances of matter into its inner structure.
Tom McLeish shows how Brownian motion—the random molecular motion underlying "heat"—is an underpinning principle of soft matter. From rubber to shampoo, he discusses how common characteristics of these materials shape their behaviour and applications.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Tom McLeish

Tom McLeish, FRS, is Professor of Natural Philosophy in the Department of Physics at the University of York. His research, involving collaboration with chemists, engineers, and biologists to connect molecular structure with emergent material properties, has contributed to the new fields of "soft matter physics" and "biological physics". He also works on science-humanities relationships. and is the author of Faith and Wisdom in Science (2014), and The Poetry and Music of Science (2019).
He is a Council Member of the Royal Society and a trustee of the John Templeton Foundation. He was the first winner of the Institute of Physics Edwards Prize (2017) for his work on soft matter.
