Research of surface-enhanced Raman scattering on Ag@PMBA@C@Au hybrid nanoparticles

Abstract

Monodispersed, biocompatible, and readily-functionalized hybrid reporter-embedded core-shell nanopartilces (NPs) have been prepared in a simple route. This composite offers a potential platform for immunochemical detection using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) due to their high sensitivity, good stability and biocompatiblity. This also provides a new platform for insight into SERS enhancement mechanism.
