Understanding of the behavior of an individual droplet suspended in a liquid and subjected to a stress is important for studying and designing more complex systems, such as emulsions. Here, we present an experimental study of the behavior of a particle-covered droplet and its particle shell under compressive stress. The stress was induced by an application of a DC electric field. We studied how the particle coverage (φ), particle size (d), and the strength of an electric field (E) influence the magnitude of the droplet deformation (D). The experimental results indicate that adding electrically insulating particles to a droplet interface drastically changes the droplet deformation by increasing its magnitude. We also found that the magnitude of the deformation is not retraceable during the electric field sweeping, i.e., the strain-stress curves form a hysteresis loop due to the energy dissipation. The field-induced droplet deformation was accompanied by structural and morphological changes in the particle shell. We found that shells made of smaller particles were more prone to jamming and formation of arrested shells after removal of an electric stress.
