Fig. 3. Microwave heating of functionalized gold nanoparticles at 10 W, 50 W and 100 W for 1 h. (a) Change in local temperature (ΔTlocal) as a function of the radius of gyration (Rg) of the stabilizing polymer; (b) changes in local temperature and bulk temperature (Tbulk) for AuNP 1 as a function of microwave power.
