Abstract: NPs) exhibited magnetic heating rates 13.0 and 7.5 times faster than heating by using ovens at 100 and 150 °C, respectively. MCPCM7 was used as a heat pad, which could release heat within 42-52 °C for 35 min to a volunteer's body. Last but not least, MCPCM7 possessed high thermal stability and excellent cycling durability for 500 heat storage/release cycles. The above-mentioned properties make it highly promising for practical thermotherapy applications.
