olymer self-assembly has received special attention
in the development of nanotechnologies especially for
metallic nanoparticles synthesis. In this context, tailoring both
nanoparticle shape and size has been intensified recently.
Here, we use the vapor-induced phase separation (VIPS)
method, which is homopolymer self-assembly to elaborate
monodisperse metallic nanomaterials particularly relevant in
sensing. To make it possible, a simple deposition of PMMA
dispersion, doped with gold precursor onto silicon substrate
allows a spontaneous formation of gold nanocubes (GNCs)
loaded polymer holes (see Figure 1). To be able to control the
structural and optical properties of these nanoparticles, crucial
for SERS application, a physico-chemical study of the VIPS
process was made. In particular, we investigated the influence
of the precursor concentration to obtain monodisperse and
uniform nanocubes.
