Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Droplets of latex from Campanula glomerata solidified much faster than droplets from Euphorbia characias.
- Observation Droplets of latex from Campanula glomerata solidified faster than droplets from all technical latices tested.
- Mechanism The rapid solidification of the latex cannot be explained by physical drying, which is transport-limited and inherently slow.
- Mechanism The rapid solidification can be explained by coagulation triggered by a sudden decrease in hydrostatic pressure.
- Observation The liquid exuded by E. characias keeps streaming away when injured under water.
- Mechanism Presumably, the pressure drop causes an influx of serum into the laticifers.
- Mechanism The serum triggers a transition from a liquid-liquid phase separated state of a resin and hardener to a single-phase state.
- Mechanism QCM measurements, optical videos and cryo-SEM images suggest that LLPS plays a role in the solidification of C. glomerata.
