Gold Nanostars Embedded in PDMS Films: A Photothermal Material for Antibacterial Applications

Gold Nanostars Embedded in PDMS Films: A Photothermal Material for Antibacterial Applications

Bacteria infections and related biofilms growth on surfaces of medical devices are a serious threat to human health. Controlled hyperthermia caused by photothermal effects can be used to kill bacteria and counteract biofilms formation. Embedding of plasmonic nano-objects like gold nanostars (GNS), a...
