Abstract
A new nanocomposite material based on gold nanorods and polyurethane foam was obtained, and a method for the determination of catecholamines with the use of this nanocomposite modified with silver nitrate was developed. The determination is based on the measuring hypsochromic shift of a short-wave surface plasmon resonance band in a diffuse reflection spectrum of the nanocomposite. This shift is caused by reduction of silver from silver ions on the surface of gold nanorods under the influence of catecholamines. Effects of time, pH, volume of the reaction mixture, concentration of silver ions, and catecholamines on the interaction were examined. The proposed method allows to determine dobutamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine with the detection limits of 0.1, 0.07, 0.07, and 0.05 μg mL−1, respectively. The developed method can be applied to analysis of medicines.
