Overview

Demonstrates that adding nanoparticles decreases droplet splashing in glycerol-water mixtures, suggesting new design approaches.

Key Points

  • Adding fumed silica and other nanoparticles effectively reduces droplet splashing under higher impact velocities.
  • High-speed imaging showed a significant suppression of splashing with as little as 0.1 wt.% of nanoparticles added to fluids.
  • Rheological measurements revealed that emergent elasticity helps prevent splashing due to particle behavior under shear stress.
  • This research supports creating splash-resistant liquids while maintaining their key physical properties.
