Abstract:Gold nanoparticles absorb light energy and convert it to thermal energy that transfers to the surrounding environment, making them potentially useful for the hyperthermic treatments well known as photothermal therapy (PTT). Further, it is well documented that noble metal nanoparticles are capable of significantly enhancing the Raman scattering of molecules attached to their surfaces, a technique which is termed surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). SERS combined with PTT has the ability to locate nanoparti… Show more
“…Chavva et al [4] designed a 3D printable platform that is able to simultaneously monitor surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and photothermal radiation output and tested it by using morphologically complex gold nanoparticles (such as gold nanostars and nanoplates). This device allows researchers to effectively screen nanoparticle candidates for their photothermic and SERS properties and make informed decisions when choosing the best performing agents for the specific needs.…”

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.
