Gold-Poly(methyl methacrylate) Nanocomposite Films for Plasmonic Biosensing Applications

Gold-poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites are prepared by an in situ method, by irradiating spin-coated films containing the polymer and the gold precursor dissolved in acetone. The reduction of gold ions results in the formation of Au that nucleates and grows within the polymer film. It is show...
