Effect of encapsulated polymers and nanoparticles on shear deformation of droplets
- Abstract:
- Using computational modeling, we investigate the shear response of a droplet that encases a dilute concentration of polymers and nanoparticles. We show that the viscoelastic effects of the encapsulated polymers reduce the shear-induced deformation of the droplet at intermediate capillary numbers, but can induce the breakup of the droplet at high capillary numbers. © 2009 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
