Summary
A flexible, adhesive gold-polyvinyl alcohol nanomesh substrate was developed for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), enabling spectra acquisition by simply pressing the substrate onto a sample without any preparation steps. The approach simplifies SERS-based detection of surface contaminants including microplastics.
We have fabricated a flexible, adhesive gold/polyvinylalcohol nanomesh substrate for use in SERS. This substrate allows for the acquisition of SERS spectra through the simple application of the gold nanomesh onto samples.
