Soft Materials will now be posting each journal issue online FREE for 30 days after publication! Please register for informaworld Alerting, the table of contents alerting service, to receive notification that a new issue of Soft Materials has published and is available to be viewed online.

Providing a common forum for all soft matter scientists, Soft Materials covers theory, simulation, and experimental research in this rapidly expanding and interdisciplinary field. As soft materials are often at the heart of modern technologies, soft matter science has implications and applications in many areas ranging from biology to engineering.

Unlike many journals which focus primarily on individual classes of materials or particular applications, Soft Materials draw on all physical, chemical, materials science, and biological aspects of soft matter. Featured topics include polymers, biomacromolecules, colloids, membranes, Langmuir-Blodgett films, liquid crystals, granular matter, soft interfaces, complex fluids, surfactants, gels, nanomaterials, self-organization, supramolecular science, molecular recognition, soft glasses, amphiphiles, and foams.

Truly international in scope, Soft Materials contains original research, invited reviews, in-depth technical tutorials, and book reviews.
