A New Smart Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Sensor Based on pH-Responsive Polyacryloyl Hydrazine Capped Ag Nanoparticles
Abstract A novel pH-responsive Ag@polyacryloyl hydrazide (Ag@PAH) nanoparticle for the first time as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate was prepared without reducing agent and end-capping reagent. Ag@PAH nanoparticles exhibited an excellent tunable detecting performance in the range from pH = 4 to pH = 9. This is explained that the swelling-shrinking behavior of responsive PAH can control the distance between Ag NPs and the target molecules under external pH stimuli, resulting in the tunable LSPR and further controlled SERS. Furthermore, Ag@PAH nanoparticles possessed an ultra-sensitive detecting ability and the detection limit of Rhodamine 6G reduced to 10−12 M. These advantages qualified Ag@PAH NP as a promising smart SERS substrate in the field of trace analysis and sensors
Effect of side-chain structure on the third-order nonlinear optical properties of acrylate polymers
A serials of acrylate monomers containing long conjugated azobenzene groups were prepared and polymerized in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMA) using 2, 2'-azobis (isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as initiator at 70 degrees C. The monomers and polymers were characterized by FTIR, H-1-NMR and UV. The molecular weights of polyacrylates were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The third-order nonlinear optical properties of these polymers were determined by the Z-scan technique with 8 ns pulses at 532 nm, and the relationship between nonlinear optical properties and the molecular structures of substituted chromophores was investigated. The results revealed that all these polymers possessed well nonlinear absorption,and enlarging pi-electron conjugated length and strengthening D-pi-A push-pull capacity of side-chain chromophores of polymers will effectively enhance the third-order nonlinear optical properties of polymers
