description [Image: see text] This paper presents flexible pressure sensors based on free-standing and biodegradable glycine–chitosan piezoelectric films. Fabricated by the self-assembly of biological molecules of glycine within a water-based chitosan solution, the piezoelectric films consist of a stable spherulite structure of β-glycine (size varying from a few millimeters to 1 cm) embedded in an amorphous chitosan polymer. The polymorphic phase of glycine crystals in chitosan, evaluated by X-ray diffraction, confirms formation of a pure ferroelectric phase of glycine (β-phase). Our results show that a simple solvent-casting method can be used to prepare a biodegradable β-glycine/chitosan-based piezoelectric film with sensitivity (∼2.82 ± 0.2 mV kPa(–1)) comparable to those of nondegradable commercial piezoelectric materials. The measured capacitance of the β-glycine/chitosan film is in the range from 0.26 to 0.12 nF at a frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 MHz, and its dielectric constant and loss factor are 7.7 and 0.18, respectively, in the high impedance range under ambient conditions. The results suggest that the glycine–chitosan composite is a promising new biobased piezoelectric material for biodegradable sensors for applications in wearable biomedical diagnostics.
