Characterisation of nanobubbles

令人惊讶的是，最近发现纳米尺寸的气泡存在于水溶液中。经典理论告诉我们，它们应该迅速溶解，但它们可以稳定几天，这种现象直到最近才得到解释。尽管如此，纳米气泡已经用于清洁过程，似乎具有显着的健康益处。他们正在研究治疗哮喘和神经退行性疾病。与一家制药公司合作，将研究生产和制造纳米气泡的最佳方法，以及控制其稳定性的条件。该项目还旨在确定纳米气泡如何与表面相互作用，以便更好地控制其特性并更好地了解这些气泡。

Surprisingly, nano-sized bubbles have recently been found to exist in aqueous solutions. Classical theory tells us they should rapidly dissolve, yet they are stable for several days, a phenomenon which has only recently been explained. Despite this, nanobubbles are already used in cleaning processes and appear to have significant health benefits. They are being investigated in treatments for asthma and neurodegenerative diseases. In collaboration with a pharmaceutical company, the best means to produce and characterise nanobubbles will be investigated, as well as the conditions governing their stability. The project also aims to determine how the nanobubbles interact with surfaces in order to better control their properties and achieve a better understanding of these bubbles.
