Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Increasing consumption of disposable electronics necessitates sustainable alternatives.
  • Traditional sensors often lack reusability and contribute to pollution.
  • Developing multifunctional, eco-friendly sensor materials is a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a reusable and sustainable multifunctional sensor.
  • To create a material with high conductivity, sensitivity, and antibacterial properties.
  • To establish a 3R circulation (renewable, reusable, biodegradable) for electronic sensors.

Main Methods:

  • A one-pot method was used to synthesize a sensor material.
  • Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were introduced into a network of carboxymethyl starch (CMS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
  • The network utilized reversible non-covalent cross-linking.

Main Results:

  • The CMS/PVA/AgNPs sensor exhibited high sensitivity (gauge factor up to 4.02) and conductivity (0.1753 S m⁻¹).
  • It demonstrated a low detection limit (0.5%) and long-term antibacterial ability (over 7 days).
  • The sensor accurately monitored human behavior and recognized handwriting, maintaining performance after reuse.

Conclusions:

  • The developed starch-based sensor offers a sustainable alternative to single-use electronics.
  • The material achieves a 3R circulation, being renewable, reusable, and biodegradable.
  • This work opens new possibilities for multifunctional starch-based materials in sustainable sensor applications.
