Gold Nanorod/Polymer Nanocomposite Based Sensors/Detectors

Detailed Technology Description: A novel nanocomposite fibrous meshcomposed of gold nanorods (AuNRs) and polycaprolatone (PCL) electrospun fibershas been fabricated via polyelectolyte decoration. The use of polyelectrolyte layer-by-layerdesposition to “attach” to the AuNRs to the electrospun polymer mesh allows thedensity of NRs to be controlled. Using achemically functionalized “bridging” molecule enables the capture of “target”heavy metal ions. The use of an amplification mechanism withSurface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) to detect trace amounts of captured orreacted species are attached to the AuNRs via the “bridging” molecules.
