Abstract

The topics discussed in this book, “Molecular Basics of Liquids and Liquid-Based Materials” are overviewed in this chapter. First, we introduce liquids and solutions, where a particular attention is paid to their difference from gases and crystalline solids. The solvent effect is of prominence in considering chemical phenomena and reactions in solutions, and basic ideas for microscopic understandings of the solvent effects are described. Various experimental, theoretical, and computational methods to investigate the solvent effects are also introduced. In addition to the structure and the solvent effect in ordinary molecular liquids, those in ionic liquids are reviewed. Finally, the roles of solvents in soft materials, including polymer solutions, proteins, gels, and colloidal solutions are discussed, in which hierarchical modeling and understanding are of particular importance.
