Particulate gel liquid marbles†
Abstract
Non-sticking water droplets stabilized by a particulate polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) organogel, namely “particulate gel liquid marbles (PGLMs)” are prepared via mechanochemistry. PGLMs exhibited superior compression/impact stability to conventional particle-stabilized LMs owing to the rheological features of the organogel. Moreover, the shape reconfigurability of the PG enabled the plastic deformation of PGLMs.
