A multifunctional plasmonic nanoplatform inspired from chameleon skin is developed for the purpose of glucose sensing applications in body fluids. Fabricated nanoplatforms consisted of two outer layers of fully-crosslinked P(NIPAAm-co-NIPMAAm) hydrogel embedded with plasmonic silver nanocubes, while the inner layer is an electrospun nanofibrous mat of PCL/PEO. Morphological and optical investigation on layers of the platform as well as the whole structure shows the well-fabricated structure offering a compact and stable device. The platform provides fast photothermal-responsivity, mechanical and antibacterial properties as well as sensing features, which can be used to anticipate glucose levels in body fluids in both ranges of healthy and diabetic.
