Using computational modeling, we investigate the shear response of a droplet that encases a dilute concentration of polymers and nanoparticles. We show that the viscoelastic effects of the encapsulated polymers reduce the shear-induced deformation of the droplet at intermediate capillary numbers, but can induce the breakup of the droplet at high capillary numbers.
