Abstract
We study microbubbles (MBs) in aqueous electrolyte solutions and show that increasing the salt concentration slows down the kinetics of MB dissolution. We modified the Epstein-Plesset theory and experimented with NaCl aqueous solutions to estimate the MB effective surface charge and to compare it with predictions from the modified Poisson-Boltzmann theory. Our results reveal a mechanism responsible for the change in the dissolution of MBs in aqueous electrolyte solutions, with implications for emerging fields ranging from physics of solutions to soft and biological matter.
