Synergistic thermal effects of POSS-PCU and CNTs. At both wattages (0.1 W and 1 W), POSS-PCU-CNT displays a higher rate of temperature increase and final temperature. POSS-PCU does not absorb in the NIR spectrum, but synergistically elevates the temperature profile of CNTs upon functionalization. At higher wattage, functionalization with 100% POSS-PCU shows a greater increase in temperature compared to 50% POSS-PCU.
