Viscoelastic droplets show an elasto-viscous coalescence regime
—
in EngineeringWhat the study found The study found a transition from an elasticity-dominated regime to an elasto-viscous regime in the coalescence of concentrated polymer droplets. Why the authors say this matters The authors conclude that these results advance understanding of droplet coalescence and highlight the role of viscoelastic effects in complex fluids. The study suggests that…
