Soft Nanomaterials

This book covers all experimental and theoretical aspects of the "Soft Nanomaterials" focusing on an interdisciplinary approach by blending their chemistry, physics, and biology. The book will includes all topics related to soft nanomaterials such as polymers, colloids, micelles, gels, nanocomposites, supramolecular assemblies, biomembranes, membrane-based process, bottom-up approaches in nanotechnology, Langmuir–Blodgett films, Self assembled monolayers, polyelectrolyte multilayers, molecularly organised thin films, self-assemblies, functional molecular blends and complexes, liquid crystals, soft magnetic materials, granular materials, soft surfaces and interfaces, interfacial phenomena, complex fluids, sponge and foams, emulsions, surfactants, surface functionalization, self-organization, molecular recognition, molecular architecture, and soft glasses, biological materials such as biopolymers, biomacromolecules, biomolecules, functional proteins and peptides! , nucleic acids, biochips, cellular materials, biological tissues, biomolecular interactions, biomimetic materials, biomineralization, biocomposites, cellulose-based materials, biodegradable materials, drug delivery systems and drug release, theoretical and computational approaches, simulation and molecular modeling, structures, dynamics, rheology and structural disorder/order, synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of soft materials, physical, chemical, and biological properties of soft nanomaterials, their industrial applications in soft machines, food science, paints, coatings, detergents, cosmetic nanotechnology, therapeutics, soft lens, sensors, molecular imprinting, petroleum, personal care products, fluid products, etc. Broadly speaking, all aspects dealing with the chemistry, physics, biology and engineering of soft nanoscale materials and their applications will be discussed.
