In recent years, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy advancements have made it a sensitive, flexible tool for probing biological interactions. Here, we describe the basic principles of this nanoparticle-based sensing technique, the ways nanoparticles can be tailored to optimize sensing, and examples of novel LSPR spectroscopy applications. These include detecting small molecules via protein conformational changes and resonance LSPR spectroscopy, as well as coupling LSPR with mass spectrometry to identify bound analytes. The last few sections highlight the advantages of single nanoparticle LSPR, in that it lowers limits of detection, allows multiplexing on the nanometer scale, and enables free diffusion of sensors in solution. The cases discussed herein illustrate creative ways that LSPR spectroscopy has been improved to achieve new sensing capabilities.

Hydrogel nanocomposites that respond to external stimuli and possess switchable electrical properties are considered as emerging materials with potential uses in electrical, electrochemical, and biological devices. This work reports the synthesis and characterization of thermo-responsive and electroconductive hydrogel nanocomposites based on poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAAm) and gold nanoparticles (nanospheres-AuNPs and nanorods-AuNRs) using two different synthetic techniques. Method I involved γ-irradiation-induced crosslinking of a polymer matrix (hydrogel), followed by radiolytic formation of gold nanoparticles, while Method II included the chemical synthesis of nanoparticles, followed by radiolytic formation of a polymer matrix around the gold nanoparticles.

Due to their distinctive optical, electrical, and catalytic characteristics, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have found increasing use for a wide range of applications, including biomedicine and catalysis. Inherent agglomeration propensities impair their functional qualities, stability, and biocompatibility. This work investigates the potential applications of the cataractous eye protein isolate (CEPI), a waste product rich in proteins from cataract surgery, as a novel AuNP stabilizing agent.
