Pulsating bubbles with nanoparticle shells
Résumé
Antibubbles are microscopic gas bubbles comprising one or multiple liquid or solid cores, typically surrounded by stabilising shells. Hydrophobised silica nanoparticles are used to create this stabilised shell, a process called Pickering-stabilising. Pickering-stabilised antibubbles possess acoustic properties required to act as both diagnostic and therapeutic agents. This research aimed to determine the dynamic response of Pickering-stabilised antibubbles to pulsed ultrasound and identify and quantify the contribution of the shell and core to that behaviour.
