Droplet impacts onto soft solids entrap more air

We investigate the effects of surface stiffness on the air cushioning at the bottom of a liquid drop impacting onto a soft solid and the resulting entrapment of a central bubble. This was achieved using ultra-high-speed interferometry at 5 million frames per second and spatial resolution of 1.05 μm...
