Soft Matter, Volume 3: Colloidal Order: Entropic and Surface Forces (v. 3)

This third volume in the series treats the physical aspects of polymers and colloids, including entropic attraction and ordering, inhomogeneous rod and platelet fluids, patterned substrates, and melting in two-dimensional colloid systems. Aimed at both graduate students and researchers in academia and industry, this is an introduction to the field as well as a concise reference for those already working in it.
