Surface nanobubbles emerging at solid-liquid interfaces show extreme stability. In this paper, the stability of surface nanobubbles in degassed water is discussed and investigated by AFM. The result demonstrates that surface nanobubbles are kinetically stable and the liquid/gas interface is gas impermeable. The force modulation experiment further proves that there is a layer coating on nanobubbles. These critical properties suggest that surface nanobubbles may be stabilized by a layer which has a great diffusive resistance.

This study was designed to obtain the maximum extraction yield of peanut shell (PS) polyphenols using a novel carbon dioxide nanobubbles (CO-NBs) assisted ultrasonic extraction method. CO-NBs were generated in distilled water with a self-developed high-pressure nano-jet homogenization method and characterized by size, zeta potential and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The obtained nanobubble's mean size and zeta potential were 229.

The existence of interfacial nanobubbles on electrode surfaces is thought to block the active area, leading to a considerable decrease in the energy conversion efficiency. Gaining insight into how bubbles form on electrodes will be beneficial for designing effective electrochemical cells and enhancing the electrolytic efficiency. In this article, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to make a systematic comparison of behaviors of interfacial nanobubbles on both flat and rough electrode surfaces in electrochemistry.

The anti-glypican 1 AT101 antibody as targeting agent to effectively deliver chitosan nanobubbles to glioblastoma cells.

Background: Recently, we developed AT101, an IgM-class mouse monoclonal antibody directed against glypican-1 (GPC1), a proteoglycan that can be considered as useful target for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treatment being specifically and highly expressed on GBM cell surface. Here, we proposed the use of AT101 as targeting agent in a drug delivery nanoplatfom to effectively deliver chitosan nanobubbles (NBs) for GBM treatment.

Methods: Chitosan NBs were prepared and conjugated with AT101 or left unconjugated as control.

We present molecular dynamics simulations to study the thermodynamics of nanobubbles trapped at the mouth of narrow slit pores. Except when the slit dimensions are comparable to typical molecular sizes, the predictions of macroscopic thermodynamic theory are recovered by our simulations. Our simulations confirm that in this case, the internal pressure of stable nanobubbles is independent of the bubble radius and the surface tension and only depends on the bulk properties of the solute-containing solution, i.
