Dr. Ashim Kumar Dutta is a physical chemist specializing in colloidal and interfacial chemistry. He has worked extensively on the characterization of complex self-assembled supramolecular assemblies at material interfaces using advanced spectroscopic and imaging techniques, including atomic force microscopy (AFM) and near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). He has authored 36 articles in international peer-reviewed journals while working in Japan, Canada and the USA on various international fellowships. He has authored/co-authored 19 industrial patents. Having started his career in the home and personal care department of Unilever, Dr. Dutta moved into specialty chemicals and agrochemicals and has worked for United Phosphorus Limited (UPL) and Indofil Industries Limited as their Head of Global Formulations. He is currently vice president (R&D) for India Glycols Limited. Dr. Dutta’s research interests include novel surfactant and colloidal systems, structure-property correlation in soft matter, bio-mimetic and bio-inspired supramolecular assemblies.

In modern times, rheology has emerged as a powerful tool for materials scientists to explore the properties of soft matter or complex fluids, including such diverse materials as food, cosmetics, polymers, lubricants, drilling fluids and biological systems. Rheology parameters such as shear modulus (G’), storage modulus (G”) and viscosity (η), together with microscopic imaging, provide considerable insight into the structure-property relationship in these materials. This in turn helps design materials with properties tailored to multiple applications. This book is a compilation of works by experts in their respective areas of specialization and covers a wide range of applications. The book will be useful both to experts in this area of research and to newcomers from a range of specializations.
