[SR: 321882], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780198526889], OUP Oxford, OUP Oxford, Book, [PU: OUP Oxford], 2004-01-15, OUP Oxford, Over the last thirty years, the study of liquids containing polymers, surfactants, or colloidal particles has developed from a loose assembly of facts into a coherent discipline with substantial predictive power. These liquids expand our conception of what condensed matter can do. Such structured-fluid phenomena dominate the physical environment within living cells. This book teaches how to think of these fluids from a unified point of view, showing the far-reaching effects of thermal fluctuations in producing forces and motions. Keeping mathematics to a minimum, the book seeks the simplest explanations that account for the distinctive scaling properties of these fluids. An example is the growth of viscosity of a polymer solution as the cube of the molecular weight of the constituent polymers. Another is the hydrodynamic radius of a colloidal aggregate, which remains comparable to its geometrical radius even though the density of particles in the aggregate becomes arbitrarily small. The book aims for a simplicity, unity and depth not found in previous treatments. The text is supplemented by numerous figures, tables and problems to aid the student., 922086, Biological Science, 277912, Biological Sciences, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 922084, Biotechnology, 277912, Biological Sciences, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 278020, Physical Chemistry, 278004, Chemistry, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 278116, Bioengineering, 278115, Engineering & Technology, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 278202, Industrial Chemistry, 922268, Chemical, 278115, Engineering & Technology, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 923008, Higher Education, 922364, Education, 278115, Engineering & Technology, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 922390, Engineering Physics, 278115, Engineering & Technology, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 278233, Materials Science, 278229, Mechanical & Materials Engineering, 278115, Engineering & Technology, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 923006, Higher Education, 922526, Education, 278320, Mathematics, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 278443, States of Matter, 278409, Physics, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 922942, Maths, 922868, Popular Science, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 922952, Physics, 277889, Cosmology, 278439, Relativity, 922868, Popular Science, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 564340, Biology, 570626, Animal Sciences, 570694, Biochemistry, 571558, Genetics, 571538, Human Biology, 570680, Microbiology, 571552, Molecular Biology, 570674, Neuroscience, 570610, Plant Sciences, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 564342, Chemistry, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 571042, Chemical & Biochemical Engineering, 564346, Engineering, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 573598, Industrial Chemistry & Manufacturing Technologies, 564346, Engineering, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 571050, Mechanical & Material Engineering, 564346, Engineering, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 564352, Mathematics, 570902, Algebra, 570874, Applied Mathematics, 570912, Calculus & Mathematical Analysis, 570934, Combinatorics & Graph Theory, 570936, Geometry, 570964, Mathematical Theory, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 564354, Physics, 571024, Applied Physics, 570990, Electricity, Magnetism & Electromagnetism, 571010, Mechanics, 570994, Particle Physics, 571004, Quantum Mechanics, 570600, Theoretical Physics, 564334, Scientific, Technical & Medical, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books<
