Particulate gel liquid marble
Abstract
Nonsticking water droplets stabilized by particulate polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) organogel, namely "particulate gel liquid marbles (PGLMs)" are prepared via mechanochemistry. PGLM exhibited superior compression/impact stability to conventional particle-stabilized LM owing to the organogel rheological feature. Moreover, the shape reconfigurability of PG enabled the plastic deformation of PGLMs.
