FIBER FOR DETECTING TARGET AND USE THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A fiber for detecting a target and a method for fabricating the fiber are provided to obtain a fiber composite containing the fiber and to detect the target in a sample. CONSTITUTION: A fiber(1) for detecting a target comprises a polymer(2), a target detection material(3), and metal nanoparticles(4). The target detection material and metal nanoparticles are fixed to the polymers by non-covalent bond. A fiber has a double layer structure of a core and a shell. A method for detecting the target in a sample comprises: a step of contacting the sample with a target detection fiber; and a step of observing change before and after contact.
