Design and development of biodegradable polymer/ gold nanorod hybrid nano carriers for photothermal cancer therapy : Evaluation by (non-)linear optical methods. Hasselt University
The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in medicine has seen a tremendous rise in interest owing to their vast potential as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. One such instance is the use of nanomaterials for photothermal therapy (PTT) to treat conditions like cancer. PTT is a technique in which localized hyperthermia is induced by converting light energy to heat, to selectively destroy the diseased tissue. This method has been shown to be very promising ...
