Overview of soft materials (suspensions, gels, polymers, surfactants, emulsions, powders and granules) that arise in diverse industries, including consumer products, foods, advanced materials, biotechnology, and mineral and energy production. Influence of non-Newtonian rheology (shear-thickening and thinning, viscoelasticity, extension-thickening, yield stresses, normal stress differences, and metastability) upon handling, processing, production, and performance of chemical products. Strategies to design chemical products that meet performance targets, and to scale-up production. Real-world case studies and classroom demonstrations.

Prerequisites: Chemical Engineering 120C (may be taken concurrently).

132A . Squires T M 2 Months Ago

I loved him, i had him for an INT class about making shampoo, conditioner, lip gloss, aloe vera, and many more. I thought the class would be more information than hands-on but he just gives a brief description of how these items are being made and lets us get to work!

Professor Squires is a legend of the department. Although this class was difficult at times due to time intervals between homework, so some due diligence was required to learn the material, both course exams were fair and suited to the class content. He is an excellent mentor in chemical engineering and cares so deeply for his students.

not much homeworks, straightforward tests. Tests are very similar to homework and his notes. he clearly knows the stuff and it is easy to tell what he wants us to focus on and really get out of the class. only problem is that his notes do get a little sloppy

My favorite Professor at UCSB. Though he is busy with his other comitments, he tries really hard to make sure his students get the education they signed up for. Homework is generally straight forward and tests are just like slightly harder homeworks. He is also very casual with the way he talks with students which makes him very approachable.
