Specific power absorption of the samples under study.

Samples T/∆t
(°C/s)
Water content (%) Fe3O4
(mg/mL) *
SPA (W/g)
Ferrofluid 1.61 89.7 69.9 96
Chi/Aga-1.5+ Fe2% 0.007 96.8 0.96 30
Chi/Aga-1.5+ Fe5% 0.009 97.1 1.16 32

* For the ferrofluid, Fe3O4 (mg/mL) is calculated through UV-vis. In the gels, Fe3O4 (mg/mL) was calculated from the residue values obtained from TGA (Figure 3) considering the water content of the samples and the volume of the cell in the magnetic hyperthermia equipment (1 mL).
