Elastic Particles

Soft particles can be used as an alternative to rigid particles, to stabilise fluid interfaces in the oil, food, and cosmetic industries. Using molecular dynamics simulations and continuum calculations, it is shown that the shape of soft elastic particles at a fluid interface is not only affected by their Young's modulus, but also strongly depends on their wettability, analogous to liquid droplets.
