Bio-inspired fabrication approach has received greater attention in recent years for their ability to make highly ordered and heirarchically organized nanostructures by means of self-assembly. In fabrication perspective, self-assembly technique is simple, non-complex, and nanostructures can be mass-produced at low-cost which is a significant difference when compared with other methods. As a future smart material with excellent characteristics, M13 bacteriophage (phage), a virus bio-material, stands as a good choice. Here-in we introduce a dropcast fabrication technique involving M13 phage for the fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures. This fabriction is relatively simple, straight forward, can be done at low-cost and doesn’t require any post-processing works. By exploiting the natural evaporation kinetics happening at the meniscus when the virus solution is dropped on substrate, various nanostructures in high order are formed in a single attempt.
