(a) Schematic of the experimental setup for the evaluation of photothermal heating in PDMS channels embedded with Au nanoparticles. (b) Temperature increase curves of fluids containing either the Au nanorod/PDMS composite or pure PDMS. (c) Image shows that both the outlet channels are on. (d) Image shows that the right outlet channel is off while the side outlet channel is on. The green arrows indicate the flow directions. (e) Plot of the fluid flow velocity inside the right outlet channel versus time. The green bars represent the time periods of the laser illumination on the right outlet channel.
