Offer Description
The activity will be aimed at carrying out Raman and SERS spectroscopy measurements for the analytical determination of micro- and nano-plastics in water both by monitoring laboratory and real samples. Attention will be paid to the feasibility study of portable instrumentation that allows in-situ analysis by exploiting the same effects. The Raman and SERS response will be studied by varying the measurement conditions (concentration in solution, wavelength and intensity of the laser light, operational environment) to define the detection limits and optimal performances. The detection and analysis of Raman and SERS responses will allow evaluating the performance of the nanostructured substrates created in the laboratories of the Department of Chemistry and therefore favoring their optimization.
