Research Thrusts 🔬

Exploring research problems that are involving polymeric systems, polymer-particle mixtures, foods and supramolecular gels. The overall goal is to use rheology for probing small and large deformation behaviour, and work towards structure-property relations in these materials. Following are few example projects that were funded

  • Rheology near gelation & Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (LAOS)
  • 3D printing of crosslinking polymers
  • Phase-separation in intrinsically disordered proteins (SERB Funded)
  • Drop Spreading and Imbibition of Structured Fluids (SERB SUPRA)
