Metal-polyphenol polymer modified polydopamine for chemo-photothermal therapy
Chemotherapy combined with photothermal therapy (PTT) is a new way to improve the curative effect of cancer treatment. Here, we developed a multifunctional nanoparticle, namely PTX@mPDA@Fe-GA with the loading of a chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel (PTX ...

Photothermal heterodyne imaging of individual nonfluorescent nanoclusters and nanocrystals [PDF]
We introduce a new, highly sensitive, and simple heterodyne optical method for imaging individual nonfluorescent nanoclusters and nanocrystals. A 2 order of magnitude improvement of the signal is achieved compared to previous methods. This allows for the

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Investigation of photothermal effect in nanomaterials
Abstract The thermal emission dependence on various nanostructural materials absorption of electromagnetic irradiation was investigated. Nanomaterials containing Au and Ag nanoparticles, and CuO nanorods have been studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. These nanomaterials were

We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Actuating and Sensing Composites of Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Poly(ionic liquid)s
Ionic conductive, mechanically tough, flexible, and stretchable filaments of a composite material comprising a liquid crystal elastomer and a poly(ionic liquid) are produced through 3D printing, which exhibit large actuation strain under stimulation and electrical resistance variation in response to deformation or environmental condition changes. Their
