Main Methods:

  • Functionalization of nanosponge polymer with a lipoic acid linker for gold surface attachment via sulfide bonds.
  • Optimization of synthesis conditions, including the use of reducing agents to generate thiol groups.
  • Validation of binding using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and colorimetric analysis.
  • Testing the hybrid material's performance in detecting methylene blue.

Main Results:

  • Successful binding of nanosponge polymer to nanoporous gold was achieved and optimized.
  • Optimal binding ratio determined as 1.1 × 10-3 mg/mm2.
  • The functionalized NPG showed a 19% higher response in detecting methylene blue compared to unmodified gold.

Conclusions:

  • Proof-of-concept for a novel hybrid nanosponge polymer-nanoporous gold material.
