This paper presents gel beads dispersed gold nanoparticles for hyperthermia therapy application. The gel beads can generate self-heating thanks to the absorbed photo energy by gold nanoparticles dispersed in alginate gel beads. Gold nanoparticles have strong absorbance in the near infrared light of wavelength 808nm and absorbed photo energy can be converted to heat energy. We focus on local hyperthermia for small animals for efficient drug delivery. Local hyperthermia makes it possible to aim at target site such as cancer and reduce the side effects. This paper will also show evaluation of temperature increase of alginate gel beads dispersed gold nanoparticles.
