Movies: Jetting with gels

Movies associated with the publication “Jetting with gels: Soft microgel networks stabilize and extend nozzle-free water jets” (Atieh Razavi, Mehrzad Roudini, Andreas Winkler, Benno Liebchen, Regine von Klitzing, Suvendu Mandal, Amin Rahimzadeh) are provided below: 1) Jetting with pure water (Water.avi): A 10-μl water droplet forms a jet under SAW excitation and breaks up after reaching its maximum length (10.82 mm). 2) Jetting with microgels (Microgel.avi): A 10-μl soft microgel (MG1) droplet forms a jet under SAW excitation and breaks up after reaching its maximum length (15.59 mm). 3) Computer simulation of soft microgels (Soft.mp4): During elongation, two soft microgels (MG2) remain interconnected, maintaining continuous coverage of the air–water interface. 4) Computer simulation of stiff microgels (Stiff.mp4): Under identical conditions, two stiff microgels (MG10) lose contact and disentangle, exposing bare air–water interface.
