Preface
This book is aimed as an introductory textbook for graduate students and researchers interesting in the study of soft material surface and interfaces, including industrial applications. The book provides comprehensive basic knowledge and applications related to soft interfaces. A “soft interface” refers to any shared boundary between a bulk phase (liquid, air or solid) and a soft material, which are flexible, organic materials, such as polymers, gels, amphiphiles, colloids and liquid crystals, that may be responsive to external stimuli. The soft interface itself is a boundary area with three-dimensional structure and depending on the behavior of the organic material, may have tailorable response that is sensitive to temperature, ions, solvents and guest molecules. The properties of soft interfaces are governed by the structure and dynamics of
