AB This project will build on the synthesis of nanocapsules that allow us to detect emerging contaminants (pharmaceuticals, drugs, etc.). Nanocapsules are formed from mesoporous silica membrane that allows the passage of ions and small molecules to the interior thereof. Synthesized nanocapsules are confined inside metal nanoparticles of gold and/or silver have great interest due to the unique optical properties and, in this case, have a double function. In first time, metal nanoparticles serve as anchor points where are fixed molecules that will trap contaminants that we want detect and the second function of the metal nanoparticles will be to form an optically active support in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Metal nanoparticles lead to the formation of hot spots, points where the electromagnetic field is strongly increased causing a great enhanced in the Raman signal. This way is to use the nanocapsules for detect emerging contaminants that have become very important in recent years.
