Lipid monolayer collapse and microbubble stability
Microbubbles are micrometer-size gaseous particles suspended in water, and they are often
stabilized by a lipid monolayer shell. Natural microbubbles are found in freshwater and …

Physics of bubble oscillations
W Lauterborn, T Kurz - Reports on progress in physics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Bubbles in liquids, soft and squeezy objects made of gas and vapour, yet so strong as to
destroy any material and so mysterious as at times turning into tiny light bulbs, are the topic …

Growth and dissolution of an encapsulated contrast microbubble: effects of encapsulation permeability
Gas diffusion from an encapsulated microbubble is modeled using an explicit linear relation
for gas permeation through the encapsulation. Both the cases of single gas (air) and multiple …
