This thesis presents an experimental study on the drop impact of yield-stress fluids. Beyond applications (solid ink-jet printing, lab modelling of high-speed collision of solids), this study offers a mean to probe the role of the elasticity on the short-time behaviour of these complex fluids. We have first studied drop impacts on solid rigid surfaces. Using different model yield-stress fluids (clay suspensions, Carbopol micro-gel) and impacted surfaces (partially wettable, super-hydrophobic), we have observed a rich variety of behaviours ranging from irreversible viscoplastic coating to giant elastic spreading and recoil. A minimal model of inertial spreading, including an elasto/viscoplastic rheology, allows explaining in a single framewo...
