Module title:Soft Matter
Module codePHY3071
Module lecturers:Dr P.G. Petrov
Module credits:15

This module will discuss important approaches for describing and understanding the behaviour and interactions in soft matter systems. In particular, topics explored in this module will include electrostatic and other interactions in solutions, random walks, conformation of (bio)polymers, diffusion processes, mechanics of soft membranes and hydrodynamic interactions in liquid films. In addition, it will introduce important experimental methods used to study soft matter systems and will discuss their theoretical bases.

Please note that all modules are subject to change, please get in touch if you have any questions about this module.
