Design of a novel SERS substrate by electrospinning for the detection of thiabendazole in soy-based foods

Polyacrylonitrile as a versatile matrix for gold nanoparticle-based SERS substrates

“…45 Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) has good mechanical qualities, chemical stability, and processability, which make it suitable for SERS applications as a base material. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52] Using PAN as the composite matrix allows for the immobilisation of metal particles while preserving and even enhancing their strength and SERS performance. In addition, PAN lms have a tendency to be porous due to their structure during deposition.…”
