Nanoparticle-coated PDMS elastomers for enhancement of Raman scattering

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Aug 14;47(30):8560-2. doi: 10.1039/c1cc12027a. Epub 2011 Jun 27.

Abstract

A simple but efficient method for highly sensitive Raman detection, covering a thin polydimethylsiloxane elastomer, pre-coated with a layer of Au or Ag nanoparticles, onto the detected substrate, is proposed. Moreover, this nanoparticle-coated PDMS elastomer can be used for chemical imaging with high sensitivity.
