In recent years, microbubble and nanobubble technologies have drawn great attention due to their wide applications in many fields of science and technology, such as water treatment, biomedical engineering, and nanomaterials. In this paper, we discuss the physics, methods of generation of microbubbles (MBs) and nanobubbles (NBs), while production of free radicals from MBs and NBs are reviewed with the focuses on degradation of toxic compounds, water disinfection, and cleaning/defouling of solid surfaces including membrane. Due to their ability to produce free radicals, it can be expected that the future prospects of MBs and NBs will be immense and yet more to be explored.
近年来，由于微泡和纳泡技术在水处理、生物医学工程和纳米材料等众多科学技术领域的广泛应用，引起了人们的极大关注。本文讨论了微泡（MBs）和纳泡（NBs）的物理特性、生成方法，同时综述了从 MBs 和 NBs 中产生自由基的情况，重点介绍了有毒化合物的降解、水消毒以及包括膜在内的固体表面的清洁/防污。由于它们能够产生自由基，可以预期 MBs 和 NBs 的未来前景将是广阔的，还有更多的领域有待探索。
