2D wide angle X-ray diffraction of the air pulled fibers and viscosity–surface tension estimation of LLC droplets. a 2D WAXS patterns for a bundle of LLC pulled fibers at 0, 100, and 150% strains. b Magnetophoretic movement of an encapsulated superparamagnetic (Fe3O4@PS) particle in LLC of CBM-eADF3-CBM (scale bar 50 μm). Box with the dashed line indicates the region of interest. The white dots denote the particle trajectory. The yellow arrow denotes the direction of the movement. c Viscosity as a function of the magnetic force. d Merging of two protein droplets and exponential decay fit of a merging event. e Relaxation time vs. final droplet radius for merging of LLCs of CBM-eADF3-CBM. The blue line is a linear fit of the data and the red lines represent boundaries of the inverse capillary velocity, η/γ ≈0.033 s μm−1
