Advances in Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensing with Nanoparticles and Thin Films: Nanomaterials, Surface Chemistry, and Hybrid Plasmonic Techniques

Nanomaterials developed for localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are increasingly integrated to classical prism-based SPR sensors, providing enhanced sensitivity and lower detection limits. The unique properties of these novel nanomaterials in addition to novel surface chemistry to minimize nonspecific adsorption and surface plasmon-coupled techniques with other spectroscopic or mass spectrometry techniques are highlighted in this article.
