Bubble jetting in acoustic microdroplet vaporization
Anunay Prasanna, Samuele Fiorini, Gazendra Shakya +1
Acoustic droplet vaporization denotes the phase-change of micron- and sub-micron-sized droplets upon the application of high-amplitude ultrasound. The asymmetric collapse of the in…
Cavitation by phase shift of focused shock waves inside a droplet
Samuele Fiorini, Guillaume T. Bokman, Anunay Prasanna +6
Localized cavitation in liquids and soft tissues, typically initiated by the rarefaction phase of high-amplitude ultrasound waves, is leveraged in several biomedical applications s…
Measurement of traveling pressure waves inside a droplet
Sayaka Ichihara, Samuele Fiorini, Yoshiyuki Tagawa +1
Shock wave-droplet interactions have been receiving increasing attention due to their relevance in aviation fuel combustion and minimally invasive medical treatments, yet quantifyi…
Translational dynamics of lipid-coated microbubbles driven by ultrasound
Marco Cattaneo, Outi Supponen
Ultrasound-driven microbubbles are increasingly being investigated for both molecular imaging and therapeutic applications. To be effective, these bubbles must be brought into clos…
Shape modes and jet formation on ultrasound-driven wall-attached bubbles
Marco Cattaneo, Louan Presse, Gazendra Shakya +6
Understanding how substrate-attached bubbles respond to ultrasound is important for applications from industrial cleaning to biomedical therapy. Under ultrasonic excitation, bubble…
Cyclic jetting enables microbubble-mediated drug delivery
Marco Cattaneo, Giulia Guerriero, Gazendra Shakya +4
The pursuit of targeted therapies capable of overcoming biological barriers, including the tenacious blood-brain barrier, has spurred the investigation into stimuli-responsive micr…
