Polymers, Liquids And Colloids In Electric Fields: Interfacial Instabilites, Orientation And Phase Transitions

This unique book aims to expose the reader to a wide range of phenomena occurring when soft matter systems are put under the influence of an external electric field. The book shows how an electric field can be used to affect objects at the submicron scale, and how it controls the phase behavior of liquids and polymers. The main focus is on the basic underlying mechanisms. Some technological applic...
