Since the beginning of the 1970’s the term soft matter has been established to describe the complex behavior of a large variety of materials that share some common features, mainly related to the nontrivial interaction between the microand the macroscopic degrees of freedom. Liquid crystals, colloids, polymers, granular materials and biological tissues are only a few among the many soft materials that challenge today’s research.
