Part of the Lecture Notes of the Les Houches Summer School series
Description
Many of the distinctive and useful phenomena of soft matter come from its interaction with interfaces.
Examples are the peeling of a strip of adhesive tape, the coating of a surface, the curling of a fiber via capillary forces, or the collapse of a porous sponge.
These interfacial phenomena are distinct from the intrinsic behavior of a soft material like a gel or a microemulsion.
Yet many forms of interfacial phenomena can be understood via common principles validfor many forms of soft matter.
Our goal in organizing this school was to give students a grasp of these common principles and their many ramifications and possibilities. The Les Houches Summer School comprised over fifty 90-minute lectures over four weeks.
Four four-lecture courses by Howard Stone, Michael Cates, David Nelson and L.
Mahadevan served as an anchor for the program. A number of shorter courses and seminars rounded out the school.
This volume collects the lecture notes of the school.
