Relationship between the Young’s Moduli of Whole Microcapsules and Their Shell Material Established by Micromanipulation Measurements Based on Diametric Compression between Two Parallel Surfaces and Numerical Modelling

Micromachines, 2023
Micromanipulation is a powerful technique to measure the mechanical properties of microparticles including microcapsules. For microparticles with a homogenous structure, their apparent Young’s modulus can be determined from the force versus displacement ...
