• Understanding and controlling the interaction of cavitation bubbles and nearby material is becoming essential optimization of various processes. We examined the interaction of a single bubble with a membrane with different fluids on each side of it. Significant differences in bubble behavior depending on the fluid properties were observed, while the influence of membrane properties was less pronounced. The study has important implications, such as optimization of sonoporation (targeted drug delivery) where the mechanism, by which the permeability of the membrane is increased, is still not well understood. These results show that the focus of the optimization process should, in the first place, lie on the properties of liquids, rather than the mechanical properties of the membrane itself.
