Key Points

The nanocomposite allows for reversible substrate immobilization, enhancing microfluidic sensing.
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering performance is improved by integrating gold nanostars into the nanogel.
Optical characterization techniques reveal the tunability of the plasmonic properties of the nanocomposite.
Thermally responsive behavior of the phospholipid nanogel adds functionality to the sensing applications.

Implication

This work demonstrates a novel nanocomposite for enhanced microfluidic sensing and surface-enhanced Raman scattering applications.

Abstract

A thermally responsive plasmonic nanocomposite was developed for microfluidic SERS sensing applications using optically tunable gold nanostars and a self-assembling phospholipid nanogel matrix, affording reversible substrate immobilization.
