This paper describes the mechanical properties of thin-walled, liquid-filled calcium alginate capsules by measuring the deformation of these particles in a spinning drop apparatus. By variation of the guluronic acid content of the alginate, the polymerization time and the calcium and alginate concentration we systematically studied the elastic properties of these capsules. In a series of experiments we observed for the first time new types of irreversibly deformed capsules, which can be described by plastic deformation. For comparison purposes, we also investigated liquid-filled calcium alginate particles in squeezing capsule experiments. The qualitative and quantitative results of both experiments in terms of the deformation properties and the surface Young moduli were in good agreement. Furthermore we also investigated liquid-filled calcium alginate particles by NMR microscopy to characterize the capsules in view of their membrane thickness. These results, in combination with the spinning capsule experiments allowed us to measure the kinetics of surface gelation and the mechanism of membrane growing.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
