Shear and extensional deformation of droplets containing polymers and nanoparticles.

We investigate the effects of polymer chains and nanoparticles on the deformation of a droplet in shear and extensional flow using computational modeling that accounts for both the solid and fluid phases explicitly. We show that under shear flow, both the nanoparticles and the encapsulated polymers...
