Abstract

Multi-layer microbubble has great potential in enabling the corporation of medical imaging with tumor therapy such as drug and gene delivery of therapeutics or other functional materials in medical applications. Microfluidic technique has advanced over the last decade and showed great promise in replacing traditional microbubble generating method. In this paper, a multi-layer microbubble structure was produced with the aspect as potentially used for drug loaded microbubble contrast agents.
