COVER STORY
New Trend in Soft Matter |
| Soft matters such as polymers, liquid crystals, molecular membranes, gels,
and colloids have a common feature that entropy dominates various physical
properties since they generally consist of a large-scale arrangement of
complicated elements. This issue focuses on polymer complex systems or
interfaces with other soft matters as a new trend in soft matter science
and technology. Polymers have a unique string shape fluctuating by thermal
agitation. Combining the important features of polymers with other soft
matters of different shapes has led to various findings of unique physical
properties in complex polymer systems. This issue reviews recent progress
of soft matter complex systems. Incidentally, gels are focused on in the
forthcoming September issue.
