摘要

In this work, microspheres coated with Au–Ag nanostars (Nss-Sph) were synthetized and evaluated by SERS with methylene blue (MB) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The system was evaluated by UV–Vis absorption of the Nss-Sph, where changes in the wavelengths and absorption were observed compared to the Nanostars (Nss) spectrum. The composition of the Nss and Nss-Sph was evaluated by Raman spectroscopy where some characteristic vibrational modes of MPA, EDC and NHS were observed. SEM micrographs show the morphology of Nss, while the Nss-Sph were formed by adding the MPA-EDC-NHS molecules. EDS showed changes in the atomic percentages of gold and silver in the Nss-Sph systems. Finally, the Nss-Sph were evaluated with MB and BSA by SERS measurements.
