研究目的
Investigating the utility of microbubbles in biomedical applications, including localized generation of intense whitelight, disruption of matter in aqueous solution, spatial alignment of biological cells, and enhancement of signals in biological Raman spectroscopy.
研究成果
Microbubbles generated upon laser irradiation of surfaces have significant biomedical applications, including drug delivery, tissue ablation, and surface enhanced biological Raman spectroscopy. The dynamics of bubble formation and collapse offer new avenues for controlling surface wettability and cell alignment, with many more applications remaining to be explored.
研究不足
The technical constraints include the difficulty in ensuring a population of bubbles is purely vaporous or gaseous, and the potential toxicity of carbon nanotubes left behind after their primary role in directed drug delivery schemes.
