Surface based analytical tools have gained more importance for rapid, sensitive and label-free monitoring of molecular recognition events. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has played a prominent role in real time monitoring of surface binding events. SPR is increasing its significance especially for the study of ultrathin dielectric layer. This paper investigates the role of thin films of gold, silver...
Gold - poly(dimethylsiloxane) (Au - PDMS) nanocomposite freestanding films were prepared and used to study the binding of Human Serum Albumin (HSA) to polyclonal anti-HSA. A new method of synthesis was developed for sensing application when most of the gold nanoparticles have to be localized in the surface layer. The localized surface plasmon resonance band in gold nanoparticles is used to monitor...
We report investigations on the adsorption and in-vitro recrystallization kinetics of the bacterial surface layer protein of Bacillus sphaericus NCTC 9602 on gold surfaces by means of film bulk acoustic resonators. The acoustic resonators were operated in shear mode at about 800 MHz. From the measured changes of frequency and in dissipation, the mass and the viscoelasticity of biomolecular films formed...
A novel optical biosensor with gold surface bound silver nanoparticles has been constructed for detection of bio-molecules like antigen, antibody protein and DNA plasmid, which exhibited distinct optical properties of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The silver colloidal nanoparticles were prepared by using sodium borohydride reduction of silver nitrate and characterized by using UV-vis...
This paper reports a rapid, simple and direct method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in polypyrrole (PPy) film, which provides a biocompatible matrix for the strong adsorption of antibodies. The electrochemical synthesis of AuNPs/PPy composite on gold or carbon electrode occurs within 20 minutes, and does not involve addition of any nanoparticles or reducing agent. This method is compatible...
Surface plasmon photonic crystals can couple the incident light with surface plasmons by the periodic array of holes on the metal film. In this paper, surface plasmon photonic crystals with periodic square array of hexagon holes were fabricated. The infrared optical properties in transmittance and reflectance of the devices were tested. A sharp peak of surface plasmon resonance was observed at the...
