Colloidal Active Matter 1st Edition

Capture the cutting edge of soft-matter physics with Colloidal Active Matter, 1st Edition by Francesc Sagués Mestre. This compelling volume draws you into a fast-growing field where tiny particles move, interact and organize themselves into lifelike patterns—transforming how we understand materials, biology and microscale engineering.

Explore clear, authoritative chapters that map the foundations of active colloids, self-propelled particles, microswimmers and emergent collective behaviors. Carefully balanced between experiment and theory, the book introduces essential concepts—hydrodynamic interactions, chemotactic coupling, phase separation, and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics—while guiding readers through contemporary experimental techniques and model systems. Rich illustrations and succinct explanations make complex ideas accessible without sacrificing rigor.

Ideal for graduate students, researchers and interdisciplinary teams in physics, chemistry, materials science and bioengineering, this edition equips you to interpret recent literature, design experiments and build models that bridge scales. Practitioners in academia and industry will find practical insights into applications ranging from targeted delivery and synthetic active materials to environmental microsystems.

Whether adding to a university library or expanding a personal reference collection, Colloidal Active Matter, 1st Edition is an essential resource for anyone engaged with non-equilibrium soft matter. Order now to stay at the forefront of active-matter research and to inspire new experiments, collaborations and innovations in your region and beyond.
