2004 Fred Beamish Award Lecture — Analytical – materials chemistry on old CDs — Beyond self-assembly

Abstract: This review describes a variety of new chemistry that has been established in our research laboratory and by other scientists worldwide related to optical compact disc (CD) technology. In particular, we have discovered that gold substrates from CD-Rs can be used to prepare high-quality, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) after removing the protective polymer films with concentrated nitric acid. It was proven that these substrates are feasible for electrochemical, spectroscopic, and surface wetting studies. We ha… Show more

“…The literature shows that the deposition of different reflecting materials and probes anchoring on the surface of CDs for analytical applications is a poorly studied area, except for a few research works which delved into the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon on CDs. , Other works report interferometric biosensors by the deposition of radial spokes made of gold ridges on a high-reflectance substrate, e.g., a silicon wafer. , Recordable gold CDs have been utilized to prepare alkanethiolate self-assembled monolayers, electrodes, and microchips for electrochemistry studies, , or to produce material microstructures . All the above-mentioned approaches damage the disc structure, track, and surface, which are no longer readable by a standard drive …”
