• spectra using a UV–vis spectrophotometer. This paper designates the sensing application of water-dispersible casein peptide-capped AgNPs as a sensing probe for the colorimetric detection of Cu2+ ions in water samples, and the color change is visible with the naked eye. When compared with alternative

• low-cost and fast method, our samples are quite suitable for mass manufacturing of large-area LSPR sensors. The quality of the samples, as well as the FOM for sensing application, could be even easily improved in the future, for example, by using thicker structures, more suitable designed geometries
