Fluorinated Graphene Oxide; a New Multimodal Material for Biological Applications. (27th August 2013) - Romero‐Aburto, Rebeca
Abstract Fluorinated graphene oxide (FGO) is reported for the first time as a magnetically responsive drug carrier that can serve both as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photoacoustic contrast agent, under preclinical settings, and as a type of photothermal therapy. Its hydrophilic nature facilitates biocompatibility. FGO as a broad wavelength absorber, with high charge transfer and strong non‐linear scattering is optimal for NIR laser‐induced hyperthermia.
