%X Soft Matter Science has emerged in recent years as an independent and  interdisciplinary research field, bringing together scientists from condensed  matter physics, macromolecular and physical chemistry, and cell biology.  The systems investigated in this field include colloidal dispersions, polymer  solutions, mixtures and melts, block copolymers, binary and ternary  amphiphilic systems (microemulsions), membranes, vesicles and biological  macromolecules. While many of these systems have already been  investigated for a long period of time, only recently have their common  features and interactions come into focus.  These highly complex materials are characterized by structural units with  typical length scales ranging from nanometers to micrometers. The  experimental and theoretical investigations involved, as well as the  understanding of the properties of these materials pose enormous challenges  due to their high complexity, the large number of cooperative degrees of  freedom, and the large range of relevant length, time and energy scales.
