摘要：

The concept of soft matter was first introduced by P.G.de Gennes in his acceptance speech for the Nobel Physics Prize in 1991.In mechanics community,however,people usually prefer using soft material instead of soft matter to describe the material whose energy associated with thermal motion is comparative to the interaction energy.Unlike in the conventional condensed matter,entropy plays an important and even determinative role in soft materials.This particular characteristic of soft material gives birth to very complex and kaleidoscopic systems,such as liquid crystals,poly-
