| Research Abstract |
Gold nanorods adsorb infrared light, then, the light energy is converted to heat. In this study, we optimized condition of PEG-modification of the gold nanorods to make them circulate blood stably and show EPR effect. Furthermore, we succeeded in preparing thermosensitive polymer-modified gold nanorods that accumulated to light-irradiated site.
