HELP DESK : 990009900In the Research Article, Chandrabhas Narayana, Soumik Siddhanta, Kolleboyina Jayaramulu, and co-workers present a superhydrophobic covalent organic framework (COF-SH@Ag) designed via selective surface functionalization, where hydroxy groups enable alkyl chain grafting and thiols anchor silver nanoparticles. The hybrid COF shows exceptional SERS-based sensitivity and selectivity toward phthalic acid esters (PEA). DFT studies reveal strong DMP interactions, offering a visually striking and powerful platform for plasticizer and microplastic detection.(DOI: 10.1002/asia.202500789)
