Microfluidics and wettability are interrelated and mutually reinforcing fields, experiencing
synergistic growth. Surface wettability is paramount in regulating microfluidic flows for …

Introduction: Ultrasound in combination with microbubbles can make cells and tissues more
accessible for drugs, thereby achieving improved therapeutic outcomes. In this review, we …

Smart materials can respond to stimuli and adapt their responses based on external cues
from their environments. Such behavior requires a way to transport energy efficiently and …

We review recent developments on the preparation of multiple emulsions and their
applications as templates for material fabrication. Emphasis is placed on microfluidic …

Hypothesis: Hydrophobized fumed silica particles were previously reported for producing
antibubbles that are quite stable in neutral as well as in acidic media. To produce acid …

Microcapsules with a liquid core and a solid shell composed of hydrophobic nanoparticles
are broadly applied in food, pharmaceutics, and biotechnologies. For example, Pickering …

The aim of this study was to develop high load-capacity antibubbles that can be visualized
using diagnostic ultrasound and the encapsulated drug can be released and delivered …

Antibubbles are unusual physical objects consisting of a liquid core (s) surrounded by a thin
air film/shell while in a bulk liquid. Antibubbles carry two air-liquid interfaces, ie, one with the …

The benefits of ultrasound are its ease‐of‐use and its ability to precisely deliver energy in
opaque and complex media. However, most materials responsive to ultrasound show a …

An antibubble is a liquid droplet wrapped by a thin layer of gas, inside a bulk liquid usually
of the same composition. The lifetime of an antibubble is governed by the drainage of the …
