Fig. 3: Viscoelastic properties of bridged emulsion gels and their tunability.
a Frequency sweeps of storage modulus G′ and loss modulus G″ of bridged emulsion gels with different CN. [CP] = 3% w/w, water/oil ratio is 5:5 (v/v). The strain is kept constant at 1%. b Strain sweeps of G′ and G″ of bridged emulsion gels with different CN. [CP] = 3% w/w, water/oil ratio is 5:5 (v/v). The frequency is kept constant at 10 rad s−1. c Frequency sweeps of viscosity of bridged emulsion gels with different CN. [CP] = 3% w/w, water/oil ratio is 5:5 (v/v). The strain is kept constant at 1%. d Zero-shear storage modulus G′0 and zero-shear loss modulus G″0 of bridged emulsion gels with different CP. [CN] = 4% w/w, water/oil ratio is 5:5 (v/v). e Scaling of G′0 and yield stress, τy, of bridged emulsion gels with CN. [CP] = 3% w/w, water/oil ratio is 5:5 (v/v). f G′0 and G″0 of bridged emulsion gels with different volume ratios of the water to the oil phase varying from 8:2 to 2:8. [CN] = 4% w/w, [CP] = 3% w/w.
