Structure and Stability of Phospholipid-Based Microbubbles Studied Using a Spin Probe

Steady-state electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is used to investigate the structure and stability of surfactant microbubbles made from distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) phospholipids and a polymeric stabilizer. The spin probe doxyl-5-stearic acid (5DSA) was incorporated into t…
