Abstract

Herein we report the deformation of PDMS-based particles at a liquid–liquid interface at varying degrees of softness. Direct visualization of the particle adsorption to the interface reveals at least five different modes of deformation from the complete spreading of a polymer resin droplet to a non-deforming, rigid particle.
