Abstract
Proposed is to provide a size-varying bubble complex and a method of preparing the same. More specifically, the size-varying bubble complex and the method of preparing the same are proposed, wherein the bubble complex is capable of being repeatedly varied in size by changing phases of perfluorocarbon by external stimuli, by including a shell that encapsulates a core made of the perfluorocarbon and protects the core by expanding and contracting together when the core expands and contracts.
Claims2
A preparing method of a bubble complex, the method comprising:
- injecting perfluorocarbon of a liquid phase into an elastic material liquid solution;
- obtaining the perfluorocarbon whose outer surface is encapsulated with the elastic material liquid solution by absorbing the perfluorocarbon injected into the elastic material liquid solution;
- re-injecting by injecting the perfluorocarbon whose outer surface is encapsulated with the elastic material liquid solution into a supporting liquid solution;
- and
- curing the bubble complex provided with the core made of the perfluorocarbon and a shell encapsulating the core and made of an elastic material by rotating a container containing the supporting liquid solution to apply centrifugal force to the supporting liquid solution, and simultaneously naturally curing the supporting liquid solution,
- wherein a PDMS liquid solution is used as the elastic material liquid solution, and the supporting liquid solution is epoxy resin having a density less or greater than the elastic material liquid solution within a range of 10%, and a viscosity of two to four times of the elastic material liquid solution.
