Covalently Functionalized Noble Metal Nanoparticles for Molecular Imprinted Polymer Biosensors: Synthesis, Characterization, and SERS Detection

This dissertation evaluates how gold nanoparticle structure and local environment influence resulting sensor function when using these nanomaterials for complex sample analysis. Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs), a class of plastic antibodies, are engineered and incorporated into these nanosensors...
