摘要
A method to produce a gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-poly(ethylene glycol) PEG/polystyrene nanocomposite (Au-PEG/PS) by chemical modifying PEG-grafted PS microbeads was reported. PEG was used for its excellent capability to selectively retain Au. The PEG/PS microbeads were suspended in the solution of HAuCl4, which accelerated the diffusion of Au(III) ions into the PEG-rich region, where they were reduced by NaBH4. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) were performed to examine the optical enhancing properties and material stability. SEM images of the AU-PEG/PS microbeads indicated presence of microspheres of 100-200 μm in diameter characterized by the presence of macropores. The chemical and optical stability, shelf life, reproducibility, and synthetic accessibility made the developed composite materials suitable for SERS-based ultra-detection.
