Abstract: An ionic conductive, stretchable, and flexible transparent material includes silk fibroin, a nanomaterial, and an electrolyte. The material can be recycled. A flexible surface capacitive touch panel and a flexible motion sensor can both be based on the ionic conductive, stretchable, and flexible transparent material. The ionic conductive, stretchable, and flexible transparent material shows many desirable properties, such as a good crystallinity, transparency, mechanical strength, recyclability, optical transparency, and electrical sensitivity. The material shows chemical and thermal stability, in addition to excellent dimensional stability.
