Preface
The broad field of Soft Matter (polymers, proteins, colloids, liquid crystals, and so on) has experienced an explosive growth in the last few decades and has never been more vibrant. The advances in technology and experimental methods, in theory and simulations, and the search for new “smart” materials to address social and global challenges, continues to expand the research in this field. The properties of Soft Matter systems lie across many disciplines – physics, biology, engineering, and chemistry – and the cross talk between scientists in all fields is of uttermost importance to gain a complete understanding of these systems. In addition, their characteristics span over a wide range of lengthscales and timescales which requires the combination of theoretical and simulation techniques, with a number of different exper
