Abstract

Thermally reducible pyroprotein-based electronic textiles (e-textiles) are fabricated using graphene oxide and a pyroprotein such as cocoon silk and spider web without any chemical agents. The electrical conductivity of the e-textile is 11.63 S cm^-1 , which is maintained even in bending, washing, and temperature variation.

Keywords: electronic textiles; graphene oxides; pyroproteins.
