As a safe and effective method for systemic transdermal drug delivery (TDD), sonophoresis has drawn much attention from researchers. Despite numerous studies confirming cavitation as the main reason for sonophoresis, the effect skin has on cavitation bubble dynamics remains elusive due to the difficulty of experimental challenges. For a start, we reveal how single cavitation bubble (SCB) dynamics are affected by skin properties, including elasticity, hydrophilicity and texture. We use polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to simulate human skin and record the temporary evolution of SCBs with synchronous ultrafast photography. The influences of skin properties on SCBs are concluded: 1) SCBs collapse later near walls with better elasticities and generate microjets with higher speed; 2) SCBs collapse later near hydrophilic walls with slower microjets; and 3) the existence of a texture structure on walls also delays the time of bubble collapse near them and slows the velocities of microjets (v) during collapses. |
