Abstract:In this paper, flexible and transparent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate was prepared. First, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were adsorbed onto 2D stretched polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and then the stretch was released and nanowrinkles were formed, bringing the adsorbed Ag NPs close to each other. SERS measurement demonstrated really high sensitivity of the Ag/PDMS substrate fabricated under 30% deformation and 120 min assembling time, the enhancement factor (EF) of which was estimated to be [… Show more
