title: Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/graphene/Au nanocomposite hydrogel for water treatment by a laser-assisted approach.
abstract: The thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/graphene/Au multicomponent hydrogel is prepared by the simultaneous in-situ formation of Au nanoparticles and the reduction of graphene oxide, assisted by NIR laser irradiation of a prefabricated PNIPAM/GO hydrogel with auric acid precursor, showing great potential for water treatment owing to the excellent photothermal effect.
