Thank you for submitting your manuscript to Soft Matter. I regret to inform you, however, that the manuscript will not be considered further as a submission to the journal.
A great many more papers are submitted to Soft Matter than we can possibly publish and on that basis an initial selection of papers is made on the grounds of general interest and suitability for the journal. I am sorry to say that on this occasion your paper will undergo no further processing because it is not of sufficient novelty and/or impact to appeal to our readership.
I am sorry not to have better news for you. I encourage you to submit the results to a more specialised journal as soon as possible and I wish you success with publishing this work. Thank you for your interest in Soft Matter.
