ABSTRACT
Flexible substrates have been proposed for daily-life applications in SERS detection due to the prominent sample collection properties such as they can be wrapped around non-planar object surface. Combining the noble metals with polymers, flexible SERS substrates could be fabricated with advantages of light weight, transparency and high SERS sensitivity. Herein, we prepare a gold nanorods (AuNRs)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film as flexible SERS substrate by self-assembling a uniformly AuNRs array layer on PMMA template. This AuNRs/PMMA film performs excellently on thiram trace detection with the lowest detection concentration of 0.5â¯ppb. The fabricated substrates were applied for practical detection with cucumber by directly covering the AuNRs/PMMA flexible film on the target surface. Furthermore, the high SERS sensitivity as well as great reproducibility present a wide range of prospections for the further application of non-plane surface.
