| Abstract |
Gold (AuNPs) and silver (AgNPs) nanoparticles were successfully immobilized in the porous poly(vinyl alcohol)-chitosan (PVA/CS) composite film via spin-coating deposition. The plasmonic nanoparticles were synthesized by citrate reduction method and were incorporated into the spin-coating-derived film by addition to the blend solution consisting of PVA/CS (9:1) in 2% acetic acid. To increase the selectivity and sensitivity of the sensor towards target analytes, surface-modification of AuNPs and AgNPs with mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were carried out. The polymeric sensors were found to be responsive to colorimetric detection of CN- in water, with PVA/CS/PEI-f-AuNPs showing the most visible response in the concentration range of 0.001-100 ppm. |
