Conceptual model of droplet coalescence arrest, where the driving force bringing droplets together to reduce surface energy is offset by the resistance to deformation of the elastic energy storage capacity of the structure. The predictions of equation (3.1) are also shown for monodisperse droplets at different strain levels consistent with different stages of the coalescence process. (Online version in colour.)
