Abstract
E-skins currently suffer from issues to do with the predominantly non-biological materials they are made from. Here, the authors report on a gluten network which is cross-linked with EGaIn liquid metal to make a self-healing, biocompatible, biodegradable, stretchable and conductive material which is demonstrated as a movement strain sensor.
