Abstract

Water-stable confined self-doping polyaniline nanocomplexes are successfully fabricated by nano-assembly using lauric acid both as a stabilizer and as a localized dopant. In particular, the colloidal stability of the polyaniline nanocomplexes in neutral pH and the photothermal potential by near-infrared light irradiation are characterized. We demonstrate that confined self-doping polyaniline nanocomplexes as a photothermal nanoagent are preserved in the doped state even at a neutral pH. Finally, confined self-doping polyaniline nanocomplexes aided by lauric acid are successfully applied for the photothermal ablation of cancer cells.
