The term 'soft matter' refers roughly to materials that respond
readily even to modest stimuli. This responsiveness motivates at
present a wide range of technologies, cf. Nature

Objective:JÜLICH 2010
To remind that soft-matter aggregations in their (model amphiphilic, such as Langmuir-Blodgett, etc.) forms cause system’s inhomogeneization that may be assisted by either (i) internal- or (ii) external-friction conditions encountered/applied, or both, (i)-(ii), sometimes ...

Object of Interest:JÜLICH 2010
Soft matter forms a multitude of mesoscopic structures using its wealth of freedom degrees. By applying external fields such as normal or shear loads, electric fields, or guests’ inclusions,and the likes, the mesostructures show up structural transitions, which brings an appreciable change of the physical properties.

Powodem tych różnych form jest to zo zwykle - dążenie do minimum energii. Powoduje ono występowanie dwóch konkurencyjnych efektów <klik> foldingu i agregacji. Głownymi czynnikami, które odpowiadają za uzyskane formy a więc na to który efekt i jak bardzo będzie przeważać są: hydrofobowość, temperatura, gęstość, masa polimeru, jego powinowactwo do rozpuszczalnika, i inne? (otwarte pytanie co jeszcze?)
