Item Quantum Dot Tailored to Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes: A Multifunctional Hybrid Nanoconstruct for Cellular Imaging and Targeted Photothermal Therapy(Small., 2014-04) Nair Lakshmi, V; Nagaoka, Y; Maekawa, T; Sakthikumar, D; Jayasree, RSHybrid nanomaterial based on quantum dots and SWCNTs is used for cellular imaging and photothermal therapy. Furthermore, the ligand conjugated hybrid system(FaQd@CNT) enables selective targeting in cancer cells. The imaging capability of quantum dots and the therapeutic potential of SWCNT are available in a single system with cancer targeting property. Heat generated by the system is found to be high enough to destroy cancer cells.
