Figure 4. Optical and drug control releasing properties of laser-induced LM.

Figure 4

Thermal expansion of laser-driven LM droplet in a the air (Scale bars, 150 μm) and (b) 0.1 M NaOH solution (Scale bars, 100 μm). (c) Morphological changes of LM aqueous suspension before and after laser irradiation. The red circles show laser irradiation position and area. Wavelength of laser=808 nm, laser power=564 mW (∼287 μW μm−2). Samples were prepared without DSPE-PEG2000-Amine and DC(8,9)PC. Scale bars, 100 μm. (d) ROS generation by photo-induced DSPE-PEG2000-Amine-DC(8,9)PC-LM after 30 min laser irradiation (785 nm, 1 W, ∼80 mW mm−2). Error bars represent s.d.'s of three separate measurements. *P<0.0002. (e) Controlled release of carmofur from laser-stimulated LM nanocapsules.
