Microuidics control the ballistic energy of thermocavitation liquid jets for needle-free injections
Loreto Oyarte Galvez, Arjan Fraters, Herman L. Offerhaus +3
Illuminating a water solution with a focused continuous wave laser produces a strong local heating of the liquid that leads to the nucleation of bubbles, also known as thermocavita…
High speed imaging of solid needle and liquid micro-jet injections
Loreto Oyarte-Gálvez, Maria Brió Pérez, David Fernández Rivas
High speed imaging was used to capture the fast dynamics of two injection methods. The first one and perhaps the oldest known, is based on solid needles and used for dermal pigment…
Efficient Sonochemistry through Microbubbles Generated with Micromachined Surfaces
David Fernandez Rivas, Andrea Prosperetti, Aaldert G. Zijlstra +2
Sonochemical reactors are used in water treatment, the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceutics and others. The low efficiency of sonoreactors have prevented its massive usage at…
Sonoluminescence and sonochemiluminescence from a microreactor
David Fernandez Rivas, Muthupandian Ashokkumar, Thomas Leong +5
Micromachined pits on a substrate can be used to nucleate and stabilize microbubbles in a liquid exposed to an ultrasonic field. Under suitable conditions, the collapse of these bu…
