Given their environment friendliness, light weight, and availability, bio-films have attracted wide interest for various applications in sensor materials. However, obtaining sensors with good environmental stability, excellent flame retardancy, and high wet strength remains a challenge. Herein, we prepared sensitive water, temperature and flame-responsive multi-function bio-films (named as PSCG bio-films) by combining peach gum polysaccharide, silk nanofibres, citric acid, and graphene. The PSCG bio-films demonstrated good flexibility, rapid and consistent water absorption, and stable wet strength at different temperatures. The bio-films showed excellent water sensitivity and rapid fire responsiveness within a short time frame (2 s); moreover, the response and recovery times of the bio-films in the temperature range of 50-150 °C were 0.1 and 0.3 s, respectively. In addition, the bio-films can be applied to micro-sized fire early warning devices and personalized breath monitoring. Our work presents a facile and green approach (without toxic solvent) to fabricate multi-function sensors with applications in various industries.
