There are many ways to deliver biomolecules to cells past their cell membrane barrier, but the field of laser-activated materials have helped further the drug delivery field. When nanostructure and materials are irradiated by pulsed laser in an aqueous environment, thermoplasmonic effects and localized heating occur. There are also pressure waves being generated, with the quantity of impulse varying due to laser-parameter and surface type. We demonstrate the relationship between the magnitude of impulse, generated from gold thermoplasmonic nanostructure and bulk polymer substrates, and cargo delivery in cells.
