Research Abstract |
A fine liquid jet was produced during the collapse of individual small gas bubbles in the second collapse of an attached Sonazoid microbubble. Evidential pits are found on the gel surface. Nanoscale pits are dominant in 0.01 s < T_<ex> < 1 s, and caused by the collapse of Sonazoid microbubbles, whereas microscale pits in T_<ex> > 1 s mainly resulted from cavitation. We found the maximum number of pits when a moderate pressure amplitude of 0.45 MPa was applied, together with a duty ratio of 0.1 and 20 pulses, a result that nearly equals that obtained by continuous ultrasound at a pressure of 0.75 MPa. These results suggests that more suitable conditions for sonoporation can be determined by systematically exploring the characteristics of ultrasound.
