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.
