Bulk nanobubbles: from fundamentals to biomedical applications

该项目旨在扩展光学和声学工具，以检测散装纳米气泡，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具有许多应用，特别是在生物医学中。 利用跨学科的方法，该项目预计将获得大量纳米气泡存在的令人信服的证据。 预计这将在软物质研究的最前沿推进现有的基础知识，并通过可申请专利的技术使澳大利亚在竞争激烈和利润丰厚的行业中取得决定性的技术领先优势。

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.
