MOLECULARLY IMPRINTED JANUS NANOPARTICLES ENABLED MULTIPLEXED, ULTRASENSITIVE, AND SELECTIVE DETECTION OF PESTICIDES IN FIELD

Objective

The major goal of this proposal is to synthesize molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) on Janus gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and then develop a portable, multiplexed, in-field detection platform using these MIP-Janus AuNPs for target pesticides with rapidness, high sensitivity, good selectivity, and simplicity. Its applicability for real-world detections will finally be validated at UConn farm site under an agriculture relevant scenario.
