    In situ synthesis of SERS-active Au@POM nanostructures in a microfluidic device for real-time detection of water pollutants
    (American Chemical Society, 2020) Lafuente Adiego, Marta; Pellejero, Ismael; Clemente, Alberto; Urbiztondo, Miguel A.; Mallada, Reyes; Reinoso, Santiago; Pina, María del Pilar; Gandía Pascual, Luis; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    We present a simple, versatile and low-cost approach for the preparation of SERS-active regions within a microfluidic channel 50 cm in length. The approach involves the UV-light-driven formation of polyoxometalate-decorated gold nanostructures, Au@POM (POM: H3PW12O40 (PW) and H3PMo12O40 (PMo)), that self-assemble in situ on the surface of the PDMS microchannels without any extra functionalization procedure. The fabricated LoCs were characterized by SEM, UV-Vis, Raman, XRD and XPS techniques. The SERS activity of the resulting Au@POM–coated lab-on-a-chip (LoC) devices was evaluated in both static and flow conditions using Rhodamine R6G. The SERS response of Au@PW–based LoCs was found superior to Au@PMo counterparts and outstanding when compared to reported data on metal@POM nanocomposites. We demonstrate the potentialities of both Au@POM–coated LoCs as analytical platforms for real time detection of the organophosphorous pesticide Paraoxon-methyl at 10-6 M concentration level.

    Wettability control on microstructured polypropylene surfaces by means of O2 plasma
    (Wiley, 2017) Lafuente Adiego, Marta; Martínez, Elena; Pellejero, Ismael; Artal, María del Carmen; Pina, María del Pilar; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
    Durable and wear resistant polypropylene surfaces with static contact angle (SCA) above 140° have been fabricated using standard photolithographic process and O2 plasma etching followed by thermal annealing at 100 °C. This microfabrication process leads to a hierarchical topography derived from the patterned microstructures and the sub‐micron roughness caused by plasma. Hydrophobicity (SCA up to 145°) remained over 14 months after fabrication. This wetting behavior is attributed to the combination of the periodic array of micro‐sized pillars with low aspect‐ratio and the submicron roughness caused by O2 plasma.
