| contents | For decades, researchers worldwide have investigated phenomena related to natural, artificial oil leakages such as oil drop formation within water bodies, their rise, and oil slick evolution after they breach the water-air interface. Despite this, the event leading to slick formation -the bursting of oil drops at the liquid-air interface has remained unnoticed thus far. In this work, we investigate this and report a counterintuitive jetting reversal that releases a daughter oil droplet inside the bulk as opposed to the upwards shooting jets observed in bursting air bubbles. We show that the daughter droplet size thus produced can be correlated to the bulk liquid properties and that its formation can be suppressed by increasing the bulk viscosity or by the addition of microparticles. We further demonstrate the significance of our results by synthesizing colloidal pickered droplets and show applications of bursting compound drops in double emulsions and studies on raindrop impact on a slick. These results could be immensely transformative for diverse areas, including climatology, oceanic, atmospheric sciences, colloidal synthesis and drug delivery. |
