Here is a fine example of soft matter: molecular systems giving a strong response to a very weak command signal. They can be found almost everywhere. Soft magnetic materials used in transformers exhibit a strong magnetic moment under the action of a weak magnetic field. Take a completely different domain: gelatin, formed from col lagen fibres dissolved in hot water. When we cool below 37°C, gelation occurs, the chains joining up at various points to form a loose and highly deformable network. This is a natural example of soft matter. Going further, rather than consider a whole network, we could take a single chain of flexible polymer, such as polyoxyethylene [POE = (CH CH O)N, 2 2 5 where N rv 10 ], for example, in water. Such a chain is fragile and may break under flow. Even though hydrodynamic forces are very weak on the molecular scale, their cumulated effect may be significant. Think of a rope pulled from both ends by two groups of children. Even if each girl and boy cannot pull very hard, the rope can be broken when there are e | 出版日期 | Book 1999 | 关键词 | Helium-Atom-Streuung; chemistry; colloid; membrane; polymer; soft matter; surface | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-03845-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-662-03847-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-03845-1 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1999 |
