Welcome to IIT Bombay for the Workshop on Fundamentals of Rheology. The Workshop will be held from 23-24 April, 2026 at VMCC Room Number 21, Indian Institute of Bombay, providing an inspiring environment to exchange ideas, explore new research directions, and strengthen global partnerships in rheology and interfacial sciences.
The Workshop is organized by IIT Bombay in collaboration with the Indian Society of Rheology. We are delighted to welcome you and look forward to an enriching and memorable experience.
This workshop provides a foundational deep dive into rheology, bridging the gap between theoretical flow behavior and practical industrial application. Designed specifically for graduate students and R&D professionals, the session covers essential concepts from viscosity and viscoelasticity to advanced material characterization techniques.
Key Highlights
Core Fundamentals: Grasp the mechanics of how materials deform and flow under stress.
Measurement Mastery: Learn to select and operate the right instrumentation (rotational vs. oscillatory) for your specific samples.
Real-World Utility: Explore case studies in polymers, pharmaceuticals, and food science to see how rheological data solves formulation and processing challenges.
