## Abstract

We investigated the fundamental electrical properties of microbubbles (MBs) that are directly encapsulated by the addition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (PEs). Charge-reversal of the MB-PE complex particles has been observed by the microscopic electrophoresis method, revealing unusual overcharging behaviors in MB-PE complex solutions, as follows. The critical concentrations of cationic PEs added for overcharging were not only independent of their chain lengths and molecular species, but also much larger than stoichiometric neutralization points. Thus, we provide a theoretical sketch that considers the adsorption-desorption kinetics of small anions on the surface of genuine microbubbles, which can explain the inefficient charge-reversal.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
