The main goal of this project is to develop a method, that can be used to image and detect nanoplastics from seawater. In this work we focused on improving the detection of nanoplastics with Raman-microscope by using surface-enhance Raman spectroscopy/scattering (SERS). Also, the sample processing was simplified by using membrane filter as a SERS substrate.
