The book is organized into three main sections: · Equilibration and physical aging: by treating non-equilibrium phenomena with the formal methodology of statistical physics in bulk, the analysis of the kinetics of equilibration sheds new light on the physical origin of the non-equilibrium character of thin polymer films. Both the impact of sample preparation and that of interfacial interactions are analyzed using a large set of experiments. A historical overview of the investigation of the non-equilibrium character of thin polymer films is also presented. Furthermore, the discussion focuses on how interfaces and geometrical confinement perturb the pathways and kinetics of equilibrations of soft glasses (a process of tremendous technological interest). · Irreversible adsorption: the formation of stable adsorbed layers occurs at timescales much larger than the time necessary to equilibrate soft matter in bulk. The question is posed as to whether this process could be considered as the driving force of equilibration. In this section, the investigation of the physics of irreversible chain adsorption is accompanied by a detailed analysis of the molecular dynamics, structure, morphology, and crystallization of adsorbed layers. · Glass transition and material properties: the discussion covers a broad range of non-equilibrium phenomena affecting different families of soft materials - polymers, low molecular weight glass formers, and liquid crystals. In these systems, geometrical confinement induces the formation of non-equilibrium phases, otherwise not achievable via processing of bulk samples. The examples illustrated in this section show how non-equilibrium phenomena can be exploited as innovative processing parameters to fabricate novel nanomaterials with improved performance. Finally, the differences between experiments performed under equilibrium conditions and temperature scans from equilibrium to non-equilibrium states at the nanoscale are discussed. 000733811 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 3, 2015). 000733811 650_0 $$aIrreversible processes. 000733811 650_0 $$aPolymers. 000733811 7001_ $$aNapolitano, Simone,$$eeditor. 000733811 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319219472$$z9783319219479$$w(OCoLC)911363742 000733811 830_0 $$aSoft and biological matter. 000733811 852__ $$bebk 000733811 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-21948-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000733811 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:733811$$pGLOBAL_SET 000733811 980__ $$aEBOOK 000733811 980__ $$aBIB 000733811 982__ $$aEbook 000733811 983__ $$aOnline 000733811 994__ $$a92$$bISE
