Summary: | Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been widely used in detection of food safety due to the nondestructive examination property. Here, we reported a flexible SERS film based on a polymer-immobilized gold nanorod polymer metafilm. Polystyrene–polyisoprene–polystyrene (SIS), a transparent and flexible, along with having excellent elasticity, polymer, was chosen as the main support of gold nanorods. A simple phase transfer progress was adopted to mix the gold nanorods with the polymer, which can further be used in most water-insoluble polymers. The SERS film performed satisfactorily while being tested in a series of standard Raman probes, like crystal violet (CV) and malachite green (MG). Moreover, the excellent reproducibility and elastic properties make the film a promising substrate in practical detection. Hence, the MG detection on the fish surface and trace thiram detection on orange pericarp were inspected with detection results of 1 × 10–10 and 1 × 10–6 M, which were below the demand of the National standard of China, exactly matching the realistic application requirements. |
