AB  - For decades, plasmonic nanostructures have been used as important optical sensing 
      platforms, however, the necessity of sensitive optical instruments for detection 
      greatly limits their practical application. Herein, a multi-responsive naked eye 
      plasmonic indicator has been prepared through introduction of a responsive 
      polymer brush (PNIPAm) into the cavity of a Ag nanovolcano array (Ag NVA). 
      According to the phase change of the PNIPAm brush under different external 
      conditions, the as-prepared Ag NVA shows responsive monochromatic colors, which 
      allow the Ag NVA to serve as a plasmonic indicator detected by the naked eye. 
      Importantly, the as-prepared Ag NVA also possesses a rapid response rate as well 
      as excellent repeatability, and is compatible with conventional micro-fabrication 
      methods. All of these excellent features make the as-prepared Ag NVA an 
      attractive candidate for future optical indicating and intelligent color display 
      applications.
