Soft Matter Gradient Surfaces: Methods and Applications edited by Jan Genzer.

Soft Matter Gradient Surfaces: Methods and Applications

Tremendous progress has been made in the field of surface-bound soft material gradients in recent years, with intriguing new areas of investigation opening up and advances in bioanalytics changing the way high-throughput screening methods are used in the design and discovery of catalysts and new materials. Soft Matter Gradient Surfaces provides an up-to-date summary of the progress in this field, showing readers how to harness the powerful properties of soft matter gradients in the design and development of modern functional materials. Contributed chapters from experts in diverse fields help bridge areas of materials science, chemistry, and biomaterials, covering fabrication techniques, gradients in self-assembled monolayers, polymer gradients, dynamic gradient structures, structure and assembly, mechanical properties, sensors, biomaterial applications, protein adsorption, and organization of cells on gradient surfaces. Readers will learn how to implement the techniques described in the book in their own work, while improving efficacy and lowering research and production costs. Soft Matter Gradient Surfaces is a resource for chemists, physicists, biologists, and engineers who would like to take advantage of these unique soft matter building blocks.

Dr. Jan Genzer is the Celanese Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University. Before coming to NC State he received his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and did post-doctoral research at Cornell and UC Santa Barbara. Other honors include the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, the John H. Dillon Medal of the American Physical Society, the National Science Foundation Special Creativity Award, the NC State Outstanding Teacher Award, the NC State Alumni Outstanding Research Award and others. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
