The aim of this thesis is to unravel the relation between shell properties and the acoustic response of single microbubbles. Next, the most stable and acoustically best performing UCAs are also investigated in vitro for therapeutic applications by means of sonoporation, and for in vivo diagnostic imaging applications.
