Abstract:Experimental investigation of the photothermal properties of carboxylated nanodiamond (ND) particles in agarose gel base medium over a range of very low particle concentrations from 6.55 × 10−5 to 2.29 × 10−2% v/v and two different sizes (35 and 160 nm) is carried out. Laser‐induced spot heating of gels with trace amounts of ND particles lead to a very large increase in temperatures away from the spot compared to base gels. These increases are inconsistent with any thermal conductivity increases associated wit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
