Soft Interfaces: The 1994 Dirac Memorial Lecture Book

This volume contains a much expanded version of the 1994 Dirac Memorial Lecture by Nobel Laureate Pierre Gilles de Gennes. It presents an impressionistic tour of the physics of soft interfaces. Full of insight and interesting asides, it not only provides an accessible introduction to this topic, but also lays down many markers and signposts for interesting new research possibilities. The text begins with a brief discussion of wetting and dewetting and then goes on to consider the dynamics of different types of interface before considering adhesion and polymer/polymer welding. Condensed matter physicists, material scientists, physical chemists and chemical engineers will find it of interest.Read More
