| Title | The Mesoscopic Theory of Polymer Dynamics |
| Author(s) | Pokrovskii, Vladimir N |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2010. |
| Description | XVIII, 256 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The theory presented in this book explains in a consistent manner all dynamic effects (diffusion, neutron scattering, viscoelasticity, optical birefringence) observed in very concentrated solutions and melts of linear polymers from a macromolecular point of view. This monograph reconciles different approaches to polymer dynamics and reflects the modern situation in understanding the relaxation behaviour of the polymer systems. The reader is invited to follow the way from dynamics of a separate macromolecule to the constitutive relations for both weakly and strongly entangled linear polymers. The contents can be related to the fields of molecular physics, fluid mechanics, polymer physics and materials science. This text provides material for one or two semester graduate-level course in polymer dynamics or for graduate students with some background in physics and mathematics. The monograph presents topics in a self-contained way that makes it a suitable reference book for professional researchers in the fields of polymer science, polymer engineering, and materials science |

| Title | Topological Microfluidics : Nematic Liquid Crystals and Nematic Colloids in Microfluidic Environment |
| Author(s) | Sengupta, Anupam |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2013. |
| Description | XVIII, 153 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This work represents??one of the first comprehensive attempts to seamlessly integrate two highly active interdisciplinary domains in soft matter science ??? microfluidics and liquid crystals (LCs). Motivated by the lack of fundamental experiments, Dr. Sengupta initiated systematic investigation of LC flows at micro scales,??gaining new insights that are also suggestive of??novel applications. By tailoring the surface anchoring of the LC molecules and the channel dimensions, different topological constraints??were controllably introduced within the microfluidic devices. These topological constraints??were further manipulated using a flow field, paving the way for Topological Microfluidics.?? Harnessing topology??on a microfluidic platform, as described in this thesis,??opens up capabilities beyond the conventional viscous-dominated microfluidics, promising potential applications in targeted delivery and sorting systems, self-assembled motifs, and novel metamaterial fabrications |

| Title | Soft Matter : The stuff that dreams are made of |
| Author(s) | Piazza, Roberto |
| Publication | Dordrecht, 1. Imprint: Copernicus
2. Springer Netherlands, 2011. |
| Description | XIV, 280 p. 61 illus., 35 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | ???Soft matter may, as Roberto Piazza puts it, be the stuff of dreams, but it is also the stuff of life. That is what makes this book so engaging ??? because it shows the ingenuity that both nature and humankind have invested in the bendy, stretchy, fragile, tough and adaptable substances we find all around us. There is plenty of hard science in this soft matter, and Piazza offers an urbane and eloquent tour through it.??? Philip Ball, multi-award winning science writer. This book takes you for a leisurely walk through the ???middle earth??? that scientists call soft matter -- much smaller than what we observe with the naked eye, but not as remote as the esoteric realm of molecules, atoms and fundamental particles. From toys to trainers, our civilization would be very different if we did not have plastic. From milk to paint, what would we do without colloids? We ourselves fall into the category of soft matter, made as we are of a molecular origami of proteins, DNA and other biological compounds. This fascinating exploration reveals what these materials have in common and which aspects of their behavior make them useful in our everyday life.?? Understanding more about their physical properties will make you marvel at the ???soft??? things that surround us. With a Foreword by Professor Henk Lekkerkerker, Utrecht University, the Netherlands Roberto Piazza trained as a physicist at the school of Vittorio Degiorgio, and is now a professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, Associate Editor of the European Physical Journal E and coordinator of the European Space Agency's Topical Team for "Applications of colloids in microgravity" of the European Space Agency. He has made important contributions to research on nanoparticle suspensions, polymer and surfactant solutions and?? biological macromolecules. He is not only a gifted physicists, but equally well versed in history and literature |

| Title | Life - As a Matter of Fat : The Emerging Science of Lipidomics |
| Author(s) | Mouritsen, Ole G |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2005. |
| Description | XIII, 276 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | LIFE - as a Matter of Fat Lipidomics is the science of the fats called lipids. Lipids are as important for life as proteins, sugars, and genes. The present book gives a multi-disciplinary perspective on the physics of life and the particular role played by lipids and the lipid-bilayer component of cell membranes. The book is aimed at undergraduate students and young research workers within physics, chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, nutrition, as well as pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. The emphasis is on the physical properties of lipid membranes seen as soft and molecularly structured interfaces. By combining and synthesizing insights obtained from a variety of recent studies, an attempt is made to clarify what membrane structure is and how it can be quantitatively described. Furthermore, it is shown how biological function mediated by membranes is controlled by lipid membrane structure and organization on length scales ranging from the size of the individual molecule, across molecular assemblies of proteins and lipid domains in the range of nanometers, to the size of whole cells. Applications of lipids in nano-technology and biomedicine are also described. The Emerging Science of Lipidomics We have just witnessed a scientific revolution at the end of the 20th century that took us through the genomics era with a focus on sequencing genes and mapping gene products. We are now in the middle of the proteomics era where the multitude of proteins that are encoded in the genes are identified and their functions are unveiled. In front of us we have a new era recognizing the role of lipids. The science of lipidomics is emerging. Lipidomics involves a quantitative experimental and theoretical study of, e.g. lipid and membrane self-assembly, lipid-protein interactions, lipid-gene interactions, and the biophysical properties of lipid structure, function, and dynamics. |

| Title | Coarse-Grained Modelling of DNA and DNA Self-Assembly |
| Author(s) | Ouldridge, Thomas E |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. |
| Description | XII, 176 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents a novel coarse-grained model of DNA, in which bases are represented as rigid nucleotides. The model is shown to quantitatively reproduce many phenomena, including elastic properties of the double-stranded state, hairpin formation in single strands and hybridization of pairs of strands to form duplexes, the first time such a wide range of properties has been captured by a coarse-grained model. The scope and potential of the model is demonstrated by simulating DNA tweezers, an iconic nanodevice, and a two-footed DNA walker ??? the first time that coarse-grained modelling has been applied to dynamic DNA nanotechnology |

| Title | The Janus Fluid : A Theoretical Perspective |
| Author(s) | Fantoni, Riccardo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2013. |
| Description | X, 50 p. 14 illus., 4 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The state-of-the-art in the theoretical statistical physics treatment of the Janus fluid is reported with a bridge between new research results published in journal articles and a contextual literature review. Recent Monte Carlo simulations on the Kern and Frenkel model of the Janus fluid have revealed that in the vapor phase, below the critical point, there is the formation of preferred inert clusters made up of a well-defined number of particles: the micelles and the vesicles. This is responsible for a re-entrant gas branch of the gas-liquid binodal. Detailed account of this findings are given in the first chapter where the Janus fluid is introduced as a product of new sophisticated synthesis laboratory techniques. In the second chapter a cluster theory is developed to approximate the exact clustering properties stemming from the simulations. It is shown that the theory is able to reproduce semi-quantitatively the micellization phenomenon |

| Title | Impact-Activated Solidification of Cornstarch and Water Suspensions |
| Author(s) | Waitukaitis, Scott R |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XVIII, 88 p. 53 illus., 20 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis approaches impact resistance in dense suspensions from a new perspective. The most well-known example of dense suspensions, a mixture of cornstarch and water, provides enough impact resistance to allow a person to run across its surface. In the past, this phenomenon had been linked to "shear thickening" under a steady shear state attributed to hydrodynamic interactions or granular dilation. However, neither explanation accounted for the stress scales required for a person to run on the surface. Through this research, it was discovered that the impact resistance is due to local compression of the particle matrix. This compression forces the suspension across the jamming transition and precipitates a rapidly growing solid mass. This growing solid, as a result, absorbs the impact energy. This is the first observation of such jamming front, linking nonlinear suspension dynamics in a new way to the jamming phase transition known from dry granular materials |

| Title | Non-Linear Dynamics Near and Far from Equilibrium |
| Author(s) | Bhattacharjee, J.K;Bhattacharyya, S |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2007. |
| Description | X, 304 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This text gives a detailed account of various techniques that are used in the study of dynamics of continuous systems, near as well as far from equilibrium. The analytic methods covered include diagrammatic perturbation theory, various forms of the renormalization group and self-consistent mode coupling. Dynamic critical phenomena near a second order phase transition, phase ordering dynamics, dynamics of surface growth and turbulence form the backbone of the book. Applications to a wide variety of systems (e.g. magnets, ordinary fluids, superfluids) are provided covering diverse transport properties (diffusion, sound). It is unique in that it gives a detailed description of perturbation theory for nonlinear continuous systems, it focuses on techniques which can be applied to problems ranging from near equilibrium dynamics to fully developed turbulence, and it provides a discussion of physical properties (e.g. critical ultrasonics) that are generally not covered in text books. Audience: Beginning graduate students, senior undergraduates, researchers |
