DEVELOPMENT OF A FLUIDIC OSCILLATOR-DRIVEN FLOTATION SYSTEM [PDF]
, 2013 Treatment of liquid effluents is a serious challenge owing to the high stability and colloidal nature of the particles. In many applications, microbubbles (5 bars and consequently consuming ~90% of the total energy required in water purification plants ...

Polymer Mechanochemistry in Microbubbles
Advanced Materials, 2023 AbstractPolymer mechanochemistry is a promising technology to convert mechanical energy into chemical functionality by breaking covalent and supramolecular bonds site‐selectively. Yet, the mechanochemical reaction rates of covalent bonds in typically used ultrasonication setups lead to reasonable conversions only after comparably long sonication times.
