Abstract
The escalating demand for large-scale manufacturing of nonwoven fibers, often incorporating synthetic materials and additives, has led to concerns regarding the potential presence of toxins and pollutants. This research uses Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for the detection of contaminants at sub-micromolar and sub-nanomolar concentrations with the fabrication of gold and silver nanoparticles of varying sizes. Furthermore, we aim to (i) test DPPH radical scavenging activity and (ii) catalytic activity. We characterize samples with FTIR, Raman, UV-vis DRS, XRD and SEM.
