Unlike classical fluids, complex fluids refer to the subset of multi-component soft materials that can flow but display non-Newtonian rheology. Polymer solutions and melts, colloidal suspensions, emulsions, foams, liquid crystals, gels, glasses, Lipid membranes, cytoskeletal protein gels, cell suspensions, and many other chemical and biological systems fit this description. Soft matter and complex fluids are ubiquitous and have several industrial applications in the field of engineering, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and applied sciences. With this perspective SciGlyph team (complex fluids wing) actively investigates problems concerning the flow of thin fluid films, model problems caused by hemodynamics, colloidal structuring of interfaces, and microfluidics, to name just a few. We use experiments, simulations, and modeling to quantitatively characterize problems and explore new research directions. We have activities built around multiphase flows, colloid science, physical chemistry, biophysics, and physicochemical hydrodynamics more generally. At SciGlyph two projects are going on in this research wing. The projects are;

1. Design and development of filaments from agriculture and seafood wastes for applications in medical and electronics.

2. Design of magneto-rheological fluid sensitive to an external magnetic field for electronic devices and other applications.
