Effects of air oversaturation and wettability on ultrasonication-generated surface microbubbles and their implications for froth flotation [PDF]
Surface microbubbles generated during ultrasonic pretreatment can enhance froth flotation. However, the effective utilization of these microbubbles requires air-oversaturated conditions in the liquid after ultrasonication.

Development of Ultrasound Microbubbles and Phase Shift Microbubbles in Theranostics. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Ultrasound is widely used for diagnostic imaging and therapy. Microbubbles (MB) are effective reflectors of ultrasound and cavitation enhancers, hence their roles in diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound. MB must be of controlled size, concentration, biocompatible, and stable for biomedical use.

DEVELOPMENT OF A FLUIDIC OSCILLATOR-DRIVEN FLOTATION SYSTEM [PDF]
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 ...

The Impact of Lipid Handling and Phase Distribution on the Acoustic Behavior of Microbubbles
Phospholipid-coated microbubbles are ultrasound contrast agents that can be employed for ultrasound molecular imaging and drug delivery. For safe and effective implementation, microbubbles must respond uniformly and predictably to ultrasound.

Microbubble surface modes [PDF]
We have investigated surface vibrations generated by ultrasound excitation of individual unencapsulated micron-sized bubbles. In addition, we present surface modes (n=2 and 3) observed for phospholipid-coated ultrasound contrast agents excited through excitation of radial modes at frequencies between 1 and 4 MHz.
