Soft Condensed Matter encompasses polymers, colloids, amphiphiles and surfactants, biopolymers, lipids and proteins. These "macromolecules" find their applications in many different kinds of materials such as rubbers, paints, fuels, detergents, functional organic materials, cosmetics, food, biomembranes, the cytosceleton and the cytoplasm of living cells, etc. The unifying principles of soft matter systems are structures on mesoscopic length scales from nanometers to micrometers, and typical energy scales on the order of the thermal energy. Self-assembly is a dominant feature in soft materials and the essential reason for their complexity. The many interacting degrees of freedom in these materials imply that entropy plays an important role or even dominates in many cases, leading to universal behavior.§This volume is the start of a series on the physics of such systems, treating the physical aspects of polymers and colloids. The book is aimed at both graduate students and researchers as an introduction to the field as well as a concise source of reference for these already involved.^^^^
