Figure 1

A computer graphics rendering of photothermal ablation when POSS-PCU-functionalized CNTs are exposed to near infrared (NIR) laser. CNTs are functionalized with a novel nanocomposite polymer, POSS-PCU, depicted as a translucent “coating” on the CNT wall. Intense heat energy is dissipated, depicted by blue emission, which can be exploited to thermally ablate cancer cells.
