Our group is interested in understanding physical behavior and dynamics of structured fluids such as concentrated dispersions, suspensions, glassy polymers and polymer nanocomposites. Common theme in all these systems is their jammed state wherein primary entity (particle or molecular segment) is physically arrested due to overall crowding of constituents. In such state, system explores only a small part of the phase space thereby leading to a glassy behavior. We combine expertise from Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science to understand flow behavior and structural evolution of these systems.
