1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the preparation of thermochromic nanoparticles based on a leuco dye-developer-solvent system, specifically using a eutectic mixture to achieve the desired transition temperature.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The nanoparticles were synthesized using a mixture of leuco dye (TFG), developer (β-naphthol, Naph), and solvent (PEG), with varying ratios to study the effect on transition temperature.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The synthesis involved heating the mixture to form a thermochromic complex, followed by self-assembly in water to form nanoparticles. Characterization was performed using TEM, DLS, and UV-vis spectrophotometry.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The nanoparticles were tested for their thermochromic properties, photothermal conversion efficiency, and stability in plasma. In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to evaluate their therapeutic efficacy and biocompatibility.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photothermal conversion efficiency was calculated, and the therapeutic effect was assessed through tumor volume measurement and histological examination.
