Light‐Induced Content Release from Plasmon‐Resonant Liposomes

Abstract

Thermosenstive liposomes coated with gold form plasmon-resonant shells with optical resonances tunable in the near-infrared range. When exposed to laser light, these liposomes release their content in a spectrally-dependent manner. Spectrally addressable release may find applications in the delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents, or more broadly, in developing a technological basis of nanomedicine.
