| Research Abstract |
In this research project, a bubble deformation processes in a capsule composed of membrane, liquid and gas by working shock waves and pressure waves were observed, and the experimental conditions for practical used case were examined. The results show that (1) a capsule whose diameter is about several micro m can be made, (2) possibility of disintegration by large deformation of a bubble is high, and (3) effects of capsule structure on disintegration rate are large.
