| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a new method for the fabrication of hollow microcapsule blowing the vapor of moisture curing polymer into water as microbubbles. The hollow microcapsules are composed of cyanoacrylate, a biocompatible material used for adhesion to human tissue such as skin, blood vessels, and organs. Moreover these are less than 10 um in diameter, which is smaller than a blood capillary (approximately 10 um). Therefore, with their stable polymer shells, the hollow microcapsules are possible ultrasound contrast agents, and are expected to be generated at low cost on the medical frontline.
