Raman Spectroscopy for Soft Matter Applications

Filling the need for a title devoted to Raman spectroscopy for this important class of materials, Raman Spectroscopy for Soft Matter Applications assembles a group of global authorities from various institutions to discuss their areas of expertise. In so doing, it provides an accessible guide for scientists working in the broad field of soft matter. Organized into three separate sections, the text covers: an overview of soft matter and Raman theory; Raman applications for polymers, including films, fibers, composites and nanocomposites, emulsions, liquid crystals, foams, and food; and, Raman spectroscopy applications in medicine.
