A Simulation for Detecting Nonlinear Echoes from Microbubbles Packets
Archives of Acoustics, 2014 This work presents a simulation of the response of packets of microbubbles in an ultrasonic pulse-echo scan line. Rayleigh-Plesset equation has been used to predict the echo from numerically obtained radial dynamics of microbubbles. Varying the number of

Nonspherical ultrasound microbubbles
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Surface tension provides microbubbles (MB) with a perfect spherical shape. Here, we demonstrate that MB can be engineered to be nonspherical, endowing them with unique features for biomedical applications. Anisotropic MB were generated via one-dimensionally stretching spherical poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) MB above their glass transition temperature ...

Microbubble cavitation imaging [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2013 Ultrasound cavitation of microbubble contrast agents has a potential for therapeutic applications such as sonothrombolysis (STL) in acute ischemic stroke. For safety, efficacy, and reproducibility of treatment, it is critical to evaluate the cavitation state (moderate oscillations, stable cavitation, and inertial cavitation) and activity level in and ...

Acoustic trapping of microbubbles in complex environments and controlled payload release
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Remote positioning and activation of drug-loaded microparticles in vivo are a central pursuit of nanomedicine. Optical, magnetic, and acoustic fields have been used to position and sort microparticles in vitro, but the translation in vivo ...

Separation of chemically modified carbon nanotubes by surfactant free microbubble generation
AIP Advances, 2020 Bubble separation is a widely used and effective method for separating solids from liquids. In this study, we propose a method to generate roughly ∼104 microbubbles/μl in an ethanol–water solution (surfactant-free) by subjecting the container of the ...
