Abstract:

Novel self-monitoring photothermal (PT) agents are developed using optothermally responsive block copolymer-MoS2 composites (BCP-MoS2), which enable simultaneous PTheating and imaging of temperature profiles. The BCP-MoS2 system is integrated into organogel matrices to demonstrate its potential as aportable,self-monitoring PT system suitable for biological and environmental applications.
