Bioinspired Nano-Engineering for Plasmon-Enhanced Biosensing Applications
Seemesh Bhaskar, Sai Sathish Ramamurthy
Recently, interdisciplinary applications are being benefited from functional nanomaterials synthesized using pragmatic bioinspired approaches. Although such bioinspired nano-engineering is gaining the interest of the scientific community, their relevance in the development of plasmon-enhanced biosensing frameworks is seldom discussed. In this chapter, the utility of biopolymers and proteins as excellent candidates for nano-engineering is presented. Case studies where the resulting nanomaterials via frugal approaches are used for surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE) based biosensing technologies are highlighted. The advantages of biopolymers such as lycoat, kollidon® and gelucire® as well as proteins such as sesame, castor, sericin and silkworm protein for nanofabrication is presented along with their potential towards development of SPCE based biosensing platforms.
