Abstract
One of the most challenging problems coupling interfacial hydrodynamics, soft matterrheology, and material phase change concerns the impact of non-Newtonian drops (polymersolutions, suspensions, emulsions etc.) on a chemically reactive Newtonian liquid inducing dropgelation, i.e., the drop, which is initially a weak gel 1 , solidifies while penetrating the liquid, becomingthen a strong ge…
