Abstract:Molecular sensing based on plasmonic materials is of great interest not only for basic scientific research but also for real-life applications. For plasmonic sensing, tunable hot-spot generation, in which the electromagnetic field is maximized, plays a key role. Herein, we developed a platform consisting of a thermoresponsive polymer brush with colloidal plasmonic particles and 3-D ordered/vertically aligned gold nanorod (AuNR) arrays for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications.
