Abstract

This Special Issue represents a broad collection of reviews and scientific research papers in the field of soft materials, showing the advances in polymers, colloids, liquid crystals, and biomaterials over the past two decades. The synergy between these different fields has produced many novel materials for new applications. Some examples include smart glass, sensors, novel photonic devices, artificial synthesised biomaterials, and functional colloids.
