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. 410 0$aSoft and Biological Matter,$x2213-1736 606 $aAmorphous substances 606 $aComplex fluids 606 $aPhysical chemistry 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aPolymers   606 $aStatistical physics 606 $aDynamical systems 606 $aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021 606 $aPhysical Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 606 $aPolymer Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000 606 $aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090 615 0$aAmorphous substances. 615 0$aComplex fluids. 615 0$aPhysical chemistry. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aPolymers  . 615 0$aStatistical physics. 615 0$aDynamical systems. 615 14$aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics. 615 24$aPhysical Chemistry. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 615 24$aPolymer Sciences. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aStatistical Physics and Dynamical Systems. 676 $a530 702 $aNapolitano$b Simone$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300401903321 996 $aNon-equilibrium Phenomena in Confined Soft Matter$91771641 997 $aUNINA
