| Abstract [eng] |
Production of Self-Assembled Silver Nanoprism Layers on Hybrid Silica-APTES Coatings and Investigation of Their Optical Properties Silver nanoprisms were synthesised using the seed-mediated synthesis method, where it is possible to synthesize various size silver nanoparticles using different amount of silver seeds. The synthesis was optimized and the influence of different parameters was discovered. There were silver nanoprisms synthesized of three sizes, and their features were discovered. The second part of the work was for making the hybrid silica-APTES coatings using sol-gel dip-coating technique. There were different concentrations of APTES:TEOS sol used, and the features of the prepared gel were discovered. Lastly the self-assembled silver nanoprisms layers on hybrid silica-APTES coatings were prepared. There was the investigation of their optical properties made and the best substrate for SERS chosen. |
