Abstract
In this thesis we describe the behaviour of a hydrogel under compression as an
example for the mechanical characteristics of soft particles. For this purpose we
use a setup consisting of two pistons to compress a single hydrogel sphere. We will
analyse the various effects which appear in such measurements. In addition we will
prove that the compression of our model bodies can be described with Hertzian
theory for two magnitudes of the applied force. We will also give another example
for a material which could be used for further measurements in this topic.
