Rapid temperature control: A phospholipid–bovine serum albumin functionalized single‐walled carbon nanotube complex (PL–BSA–SWNT) was found to be readily dispersible in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). A photoinduced PDMS microchip encapsulating this complex is capable of achieving ultrarapid control of the temperature of a solution contained in one of its microchannels (see image).
