AbstractConductive polymers (CPs) are generally insoluble, and developing hydrophilic CPs is significant to broaden the applications of CPs. In this work, a mussel-inspired strategy was proposed to construct hydrophilic CP nanoparticles (CP NPs), while endowing the CP NPs with redox activity and biocompatibility. This is a universal strategy applicable for a series of CPs, including polyaniline, polypyrrole, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). The catechol/quinone contained sulfonated lignin (LS) was doped into various CPs to form CP/LS NPs with hydrophilicity, conductivity, and redox activity. These CP/LS NPs were used as versatile nanofillers to prepare the conductive hydrogels with long-term adhesiveness. The CP/LS NPs-incorporated hydrogels have a good conductivity because of the uniform distribution of the hydrophilic NPs in the hydrogel network, forming a well-connected electric path. The hydrogel exhibits long-term adhesiveness, which is attributed to the mussel-inspired dynamic redox balance of catechol/quinone groups on the CP/LS NPs. This conductive and adhesive hydrogel shows good electroactivity and biocompatibility and therefore has broad applications in electrostimulation of tissue regeneration and implantable bioelectronics.

The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview of nanoparticles developed for use as photothermal therapy agents (PTT) over the past five years. The main emphasis is on nanoparticles that absorb near infrared (NIR) light for PTT of cancer. Mild hyperthermia, including drug delivery, versus thermal ablation is also discussed. Recent advances in the synthesis of highly anisotropic novel metal nanoparticles for PTT are described. New metals and metal oxide complexes, as well as the use of quantum dots for PTT and as imaging agents are newer areas of development that are explained. This review also highlights current progress in the development of carbon nanoparticles, including reduced graphene oxide for both thermal ablation as well as drug delivery. The review culminates in the recent use electrically conductive polymer nanoparticles for hyperthermia. The advantages and unique features of these contemporary nanoparticles being used for PTT are highlighted. The goal of the present work is to describe the recent evolution of nanoparticles for NIR stimulated PTT, and highlight the innovations and future directions.
