Course Overview

The online certification program on Introduction to Soft Matter by Swayam serves as an introductory course on the principles of soft matter and complex fluids. The online session will be providing the students with a review of the preliminaries of continuum mechanics, which are required and are necessary while dealing with the core concept of soft matter. The course also contains the details of the general concepts that are involved in viscous and elastic deformations and are explained with the relevant models. The Introduction to Soft Matter training also provides the students with the experimental approaches that are related to the soft materials such as stress relaxation and creep response. The Introduction to Soft Matter certification syllabus includes the core concept of- Historical context and Deborah number, Viscoelastic materials, Classical elastic and viscous materials, Macromolecules and viscoelasticity, Typical experimental results, Shear thickening/thinning fluids, and others. Upon completing the course the students will be learning about the concepts that are related to soft matter.
