A Facile Synthesis and Application of Protein-Shelled Microbubbles as Temperature-Responsive Drug Carriers with the Aid of a Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-(acrylic acid) Shell
DownloadSpring 2017
In this study, a novel synthesis of proteinaceous microbubbles (MBs) was introduced in an effort to substantially lengthen the short lifetime of the sonochemically-synthesized microbubbles using surface-treated proteins. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a representative protein, was treated with...

This study focuses on the synthesis process of gelatin-shelled microbubbles and their characterization. A new method to synthesize gelatin-shelled microbubbles was described. Briefly, Traut’s reagent was used to thiolate gelatin molecules; then sonication forces were placed at the water-air...
