  • LIPID ENCAPSULATION OF SURFACE ENHANCED RAMAN SCATTERING (SERS) NANOPARTICLES
    Publication number: 20130273561
    Abstract: Phospholipid-microvesicle-encapsulated surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles and methods for making the encapsulated particles are described. The encapsulated particles can be used in nanomedicine. Four Raman-active species were used. A bilayer was observed by TEM, and the SERS spectrum of each dye species (SERS reporter) was confirmed.
