Preparation and Ultrasonic Imaging Investigation of Perfluoropentane-Filled Polylactic Acid Nanobubbles As a Novel Targeted Ultrasound Contrast Agent

Preparation and Ultrasonic Imaging Investigation of Perfluoropentane-Filled Polylactic Acid Nanobubbles As a Novel Targeted Ultrasound Contrast Agent

In the study reported here, polylactic acid (PLLA) polymer was synthesized using stannous octoate (Sn(Oct)2) and N-(t-butoxycarbonyl) ethanolamine (EABoc) as the catalyst and the initiator, respectively. The selected PLLA polymer with proper molecular weight was used to prepare nanobubbles encapsula...
