Acoustic cavitation has been shown to have a number of beneficial applications, from the enhancement of chemical kinetics to cleaning of structured surfaces. In my project, cavitation is generated at regions of high acoustic pressure in a cylindrical chamber. The bubbles generated by cavitation are monitored electrochemically using a high-speed AC impedance technique which allows uncompensated resistance and capacitance changes to be recorded with a resolution up to 2 µs. These new techniques are used to detect bubbles on flat surfaces and within pores. In addition the resonant properties of an acoustic chamber are investigated using these new techniques in combination with more standard experimental techniques.
