In this presentation, development of medical and biological applications by shock waves and bubbles, especially drug delivery systems, regenerative therapy (angiogenesis) and water treatment, is explained. We have developed the drug delivery systems using shock waves from fundamental investigations. In this system, microcapsules including gas bubbles are flown in the blood vessel, and broken by shock induced microjet, and then drug is reached to the affected part in the body. For developing the microcapsules including gas bubbles, the penetration force of microjet should be controlled by shock wave, rise time of pressure history, and capsule geometry and material properties.
