Office paper decorated with silver nanostars - an alternative cost effective platform for trace analyte detection by SERS
Abstract For analytical applications in portable sensors to be used in the point-of-need, low-cost SERS substrates using paper as a base, are an alternative. In this work, SERS substrates were produced on two different types of paper: a high porosity paper (Whatman no. 1); and a low porosity paper (...
