The evaluation of gold nanoparticles embedded on polyvinyl alcohol matrix as oxidation catalyst and biosensor

In this study, a method for synthesizing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) embedded gold film is presented. This approach takes advantage of the high affinity of thiol molecules towards gold. Gold particles, in the size range of 20 to 180 nm, were first prepared by the conventional Turkevitch method by the re...
