Controlled Assemblies of Gold Nanorods in PVA Nanofiber Matrix as Flexible Free‐Standing SERS Substrates by Electrospinning
Abstract
Under control: Controlled assemblies of gold nanorods in a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofiber matrix with tunable optical properties can be achieved by using electrospinning. The resultant assemblies can be used as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This work provides a facile way to control alignment of anisotropic nanostructures in a polymer nanofiber matrix and generates new assemblies with interesting properties.Keywords
