Complex Fluids and Soft Structures in the Human Body

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Complex Fluids in Biological Systems

Part of the book series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering ((BIOMEDICAL))

Abstract

The human body is a composite of diverse materials able to perform specific functions. Few of these materials are simple liquids or solids; rather they share both liquid-like and solid-like properties. The material world between liquids and solids is unlimited and exploited by Nature to form complex fluids and soft structures with properties that are tuned to perform highly specialized functions. This chapter will briefly summarize the diversity of materials in the human body, and then drill deeper into one complex fluid (mucus, which coats every organ in the body) and one soft structure (an individual cell), and their remarkable properties. Some progress in characterizing these materials and modeling their functional properties, by others and our research group, will be presented with the take home message that we are in the early stages of interpreting experimental data and building predictive models and simulations of biological materials.
