Generation of Microbubbles with Applications to Industry and Medicine

摘要: We provide a comprehensive and systematic description of the diverse microbubble generation methods recently developed to satisfy emerging technological, pharmaceutical, medical demands. first introduce theoretical framework unifying physics bubble formation in wide variety existing types generators. These devices are then classified according way bubbling process is controlled: outer liquid flows (e.g., coflows, cross flows, flow-focusing flows), acoustic forcing, electric fields. also address modern techniques produce bubbles coated with surfactants shells. The stringent requirements precisely control frequency, size, properties coating make microfluidics natural choice implement such techniques.
