Silica–gold (SiO2–Au) nanoshells are a new class of nanoparticles that consist of a silica
dielectric core that is surrounded by a gold shell. These nanoshells are unique because …

This report describes the development of optically responsive gold nanoparticles (∼ 60 nm
in diameter) coated with a thermally responsive biocompatible hydrogel overlayer (20–90 …

Composites of thermally sensitive hydrogels and optically active nanoparticles have been
developed for the purpose of photothermally modulated drug delivery. Copolymers of N …

Nanoparticle drug delivery carriers that can modulate drug release based on an exogenous
