Abstract
Abstract Primary aromatic amines (PAAs) are substances with toxicity and suspected human carcinogenicity. A facile method for highly sensitive detection of PAAs using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is reported. The immobilization of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the glycidyl methacrylate–ethylene dimethacrylate (GMA-EDMA) materials makes the substrate a closely packed but not aggregated Au NP arrays which provides a prominent SERS enhancement. Four PAAs with different substituent groups, namely, p-toluidine, p-nitroaniline, benzidine and 4,4-methylene-bis-(2-chloroaniline) have been successfully identified and quantified. High sensitivity and good linear relationship between SERS signals and concentrations of PAAs are obtained for all four PAAs.
