Mechanical compression to characterize the robustness of liquid marbles [PDF]
, 2015 In this work, we have devised a new approach to measure the critical pressure that a liquid marble can withstand. A liquid marble is gradually squeezed under a mechanical compression applied by two parallel plates.
