Bulk nanobubbles: from fundamentals to biomedical applications

该项目旨在扩展光学和声学工具，以检测块状纳米气泡，控制其尺寸分布，并了解它们如何与生物分子相互作用。含有纳米气泡的液体有许多应用，特别是在生物医学方面。利用跨学科的方法，该项目希望获得令人信服的证据，证明存在大量纳米气泡。预计这将推进软物质研究前沿的现有基础知识，并通过专利技术使澳大利亚在竞争激烈且有利可图的行业中拥有决定性的技术领先地位。

This project aims to extend optical and acoustic tools to detect bulk nanobubbles, control their size-distributions, and understand how they interact with biomolecules. Liquids containing nanobubbles have numerous applications particularly in biomedicine. Using interdisciplinary approaches, this project expects to gain convincing evidence of the existence of bulk nanobubbles. This is expected to advance existing fundamental knowledge at the forefront of soft matter research, and give Australia a decisive technological head start in a competitive and lucrative industry through patentable technology.
