Frontiers in Physics has announced the launch of a new section, Soft Matter Physics, led by Professor Jasper Van Der Gucht of Wageningen University & Research.
Soft Matter Physics deals with a wide range of physical systems such as polymers, gels and colloids. These systems can be easily deformed by external forces and their behaviour is governed by weak interactions at energy scales comparable to thermal energy.
According to the Specialty Chief Editor Professor Jasper Van Der Gucht, it is a relatively young, independent research field, bringing together researchers from polymer physics and chemistry, colloid science, statistical physics, biophysics, and mechanical engineering. While there are many journals focusing on a particular kind of soft matter system, there is a need for journals that cover the whole range of soft matter physics, emphasising their common features.
Soft Matter Physics is now open for high-quality article submissions and welcomes Research Topic proposals.
