Sink or float? Characterization of shell-stabilized bulk nanobubbles using a resonant mass measurement technique

Nanoscale. 2019 Jan 17;11(3):851-855. doi: 10.1039/c8nr08763f.

Abstract

Nano-sized shell-stabilized gas bubbles have applications in various fields ranging from environmental science to biomedical engineering. A resonant mass measurement (RMM) technique is demonstrated here as a new and only method capable of simultaneously measuring the size and concentration of buoyant and non-buoyant particles in a nanobubble sample used as a next-generation ultrasound contrast agent.
