Dynamics of emulsion drop impact, spreading and evaporation: Effect of internal phase gelation

Key Points

• To explore how internal phase gelation affects emulsion drop impact, spreading, and evaporation on solid surfaces.
• Analyzed drop impact and spreading on various solid surfaces.
• Measured the evaporation rates of emulsion drops with different internal phases.
• Utilized experimental techniques to observe gelation effects.
• Identified significant differences in drop behavior based on gelation of internal phases.
• Observed varied spreading and evaporation dynamics linked to gelation properties.
• Demonstrated that gelation contributes to more controlled evaporation rates.
