What is Plasmonic Coupling in Silver Nanoparticle Aggregates and Their Polymer Composite Films for Near-Infrared Photothermal Biofilm Eradication about?
Plasmonic nanoparticles with near-IR (NIR) light absorption are highly attractive in biomedicine for minimally invasive photothermal treatments. However, these optical properties are typically exhibited by plasmonic nanostructures with complex, nonspherical geometries that may prohibit their broad commercialization and further integration into photothermal devices. Herein, we present the single-step aerosol self-assembly of plasmonic nanoaggregates that consisted of spherical silver nanoparticles with tunable extinction from visible to NIR wavelengths. This tunable extinction was achieved by the addition of SiO~2~ during the flame synthesis of the nanoparticles, which acted as a dielectric spacer between the spherical silver nanoparticles and was also computationally validated by simulating the extinction spectra of similar silver nanoaggregates. These plasmonic nanoaggregates were easily deposited on silicone polymeric surfaces and further encased with a top polymer layer, forming plasmonic photothermal nanocomposite films. The photothermal properties of the NIR nanocomposite films were utilized to eradicate the established biofilms of clinically relevant __Escherichia coli__ and
