    Fluorinated Graphene Oxide: a New Multimodal Material for Biological Applications
    (Wiley, 2013) Romero-Aburto, Rebeca; Narayanan, Tharangattu N.; Nagaoka, Yutaka; Hasumura, Takashi; Mitcham, Trevor M.; Fukuda, Takahiro; Cox, Paris J.; Bouchard, Richard R.; Maekawa, Toru; Kumar, Sakthi; Torti, Suzy V.; Mani, Sendurai A.; Ajayan, Pulickel M.
    Fluorinated graphene oxide (FGO) is reported for the first time as a magnetically responsive drug carrier that can serve as a MRI and photoacoustic contrast agent, under pre-clinical settings, as well as a photothermal therapy Its hydrophilic nature facilitates biocompatibility. FGO as a broad wavelength absorber, with high charge transfer and strong nonlinear scattering is optimal for NIR laser-induced hyperthermia.
