condensed matter can exhibit complex motions on time scales which extend up to those relevant for the functioning of biomaterials. The book presents the derivation of a microscopic theory for amorphous matter, which exhibits the evolution of such complex motions as a new paradigm of strongly interacting particle systems. 410 0$aInternational series of monographs on physics (Oxford, England) ;$v143. 606 $aViscosity 606 $aMode-coupling theory 606 $aEquations of motion 606 $aComplex fluids 606 $aMolecular dynamics 615 0$aViscosity. 615 0$aMode-coupling theory. 615 0$aEquations of motion. 615 0$aComplex fluids. 615 0$aMolecular dynamics. 676 $a532/.0533 700 $aGotze$b Wolfgang$f1937-$048765 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910812635803321 996 $aComplex dynamics of glass-forming liquids$94126273 997 $aUNINA
