Abstract

This research paper investigates microbubble dynamics in rheopectic fluids through an oscillatory study. Rheopectic fluids exhibit time-dependent shear-thinning behavior, different from Newtonian fluids with constant viscosity. Understanding the acoustic-driven dynamics of microbubbles in these fluids is crucial for improving image contrast and resolution, enabling more accurate diagnostics. The findings hold great potential for applications in biomedical imaging, drug delivery methods, and sonoporation. Understanding the impact of rheological properties on microbubble oscillation behavior could lead to optimized sonoporation protocols, potentially expanding its applications in gene therapy and regenerative medicine. The study's findings will contribute to the broader understanding of microbubble-fluid interactions and pave the way for innovative technologies in various scientific and engineering disciplines.
