Abstract
Correction for ‘Spontaneous particle desorption and “Gorgon” drop formation from particle-armored oil drops upon cooling’ by Diana Cholakova et al., Soft Matter, 2020, 16, 2480–2496, DOI: 10.1039/C9SM02354B.

Author contributions
B. P. B. suggested studying the effect of adsorbed silica particles on the self-shaping phenomenon; S. T. planned and designed the experimental study (with input from B. P. B. and N. D.); Z. V. and D. C. performed the experiments and summarized the results; S. T. and D. C. analyzed the results, interpreted them to reveal the various mechanisms described and made theoretical calculations for the line tension effect; N. D. suggested and clarified the role of the line tension in the particle desorption process and suggested the mechanism for Gorgon drop formation; D. C. wrote the first draft of the manuscript, prepared the figures, movies, appendix, reference list and ESI; N. D. prepared the final version of the manuscript. All authors participated in the discussions and critically read the manuscript.Acknowledgements
The beginning of this study was partially funded by the European Research Council grant EMATTER (# 280078) with Dr Stoyan Smoukov (Queen Mary University of London, UK) as the PI. The authors are grateful to Mrs Mila Temelska (Sofia University) for performing the measurements of the interfacial tensions. The authors thank Dr Smoukov for purchasing some of the latex samples used in the study (through EMATTER project # 280078) and for his initial suggestion to study the effect of silica particles on the self-shaping phenomena. The current study falls under the umbrella of European Network COST CA 17120.The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
