SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF MICROBUBBLES: A REVIEW

Microbubbles are bubbles smaller than one millimeter in diameter, but larger than one micrometer. Microbubbles designate air or gas filled microspheres suspended in a liquid carrier phase which generally results from the introduction of air or gas. The liquid phase contains surfactants to control the surface properties as well as stability of the bubble. Microbubbles have an average size less than...
