Hamley (chemistry, U. of Reading, Britain) presents an introductory textbook on colloid chemistry to undergraduate students studying physical chemistry. He uses the term soft matter to signal that he includes aspects of liquid crystal and polymer science not found in existing textbooks on colloid chemistry. No date is noted for the first edition; this second adds references to recent works and material on developments in the field, most notably a new chapter on biological soft matter that expands the discussion of proteins and DNA. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book provides an introduction to this exciting and relatively new subject with chapters covering natural and synthetic polymers, colloids, surfactants and liquid crystals highlighting the many and varied applications of these materials. Written by an expert in the field, this book will be an essential reference for people working in both industry and academia and will aid in understanding of this increasingly popular topic.
  • Contains a new chapter on biological soft matter
  • Newly edited and updated chapters including updated coverage of recent aspects of polymer science.
  • Contain problems at the end of each chapter to facilitate understanding
