Nanoparticle preparation and evaluation.

Notes: (A) Process used for NP preparation via oxidative-emulsion polymerization. (B) Setup utilized for PTT studies. The laser beam transported through an optical fiber was focused through a biconvex lens set a slight angle so as to not to interfere with temperature (T) measurements. A thermal IR camera was placed directly above the sample well to measure sample temperature changes over time.
