Synthesis of dispersants to generate fillers for composites designed to have an enhanced echogenic response

Ultrasound (US) imaging was identified as an advantageous imaging modality over the typically used X-ray. Thus, composites comprising of dispersed US-visible contrast agents embedded in a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix were made. To form the composite device, a commercially available material was...
