Review on Magnetic Nanoparticle-Infused Polymer Nanocomposites for Enhanced Photothermal Performance

Hence, the incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in polymeric nanocomposites is proposed as an efficient way of improving photothermal therapy for biological uses. In this review, careful assessment has been given to the synthesis, functionalization and characterization of MNP-polymer nanocomposites alongside with their unique mechanisms and therapeutic effects. It has been reported that SPIONs are among the best photothermal agents, which produce local heat upon exposure to light and qualifies as an appropriate agent for targeted therapy. ourselves various types of stabilizers polymer matrices for magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs); The polymer matrices should be biocompatible and can further functionalized. This review emphasizes the direction of forming stimulus-responsive smart nanocomposite structures and looks to the future of individualized photothermal treatment. However, issues on material stability and toxicity besides informal availability of materials on other large scale clinical application have limited used of these materials. The insights developed from this work could help in the subsequent studies to overcome these challenges and to show innovative strategies for the development of effectiveness and applications of MNP-polymer nanocomposites. Such materials are highlighted in this work as having potential to be imprinted for photothermal therapy applications so as to enhance therapeutics.
