Soft crystals : flexible response systems with high structural order / Masako Kato, Kazuyuki Ishii, editors.

This open access book introduces the science of the new materials, soft crystals, by showing various interesting examples. Different from conventional hard and stable crystals, the soft crystals respond to gentle stimuli such as vapor exposure and rubbing but maintain their structural order. In this...
