摘要
A hydrogel-based chemiresponsive sensor for monitoring H+ (pH) has been developed by coating the surface of a gold nanocrescent array structure with a thin film of a poly(2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate)-based (poly-HEMA) hydrogel. The transmission measurement results of the close-packed gold nanocrescent array fabricated via electron beam lithography demonstrate near-infrared localized surface plasmon resonance peaks with sensitivities up to 332nm/RIU in detecting refractive index change. Measurements of the hydrogel under solutions of increasing pH show the plasmon peak blueshifts by 17nm and the integrated transmission increases by 1.8 in the operating range of 4.5 - 6.4 pH, which is ideal for biochemical sensor applications.
