研究目的
Investigating the design and implementation of a reusable-tapered optical fiber sensor (RFS) to analyze the metastability of colloidal gold nanoparticles in the presence of glucose and insulin.
研究成果
The RFS effectively detected changes in the stability and refractive index of MAuNPs solutions upon addition of glucose and insulin. Glucose stabilized MAuNPs, while insulin triggered their aggregation. Raman spectroscopy provided insights into the chemical interactions between MAuNPs and the biomolecules. The study demonstrates the potential of RFS in analyzing nanoparticle stability and biomolecule interactions.
研究不足
The study was limited by the optical transparency of glucose and insulin to visible light, which affected the RFS's ability to detect these biomolecules directly without MAuNPs. Additionally, the specific mechanisms of glucose and insulin interactions with MAuNPs require further investigation.
