Development of lateral flow device for detection of polystyrene nanoplastic
This thesis focuses on the development of a lateral flow assay (LFA) for the rapid and instrument-free detection of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NPs). The sensing principle is based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) and goat anti-mouse IgG (GAM), forming a pH-responsive...
