The development of emerging technologies in a wide variety of distinct fields requires continuous innovation and implementation to advance civilization. The goal of this scientific scheme is to find smart technological materials. Recent years have seen an increase in attention to electrospinning, an electrostatic fiber fabrication method, owing to its flexibility and possibility of utilizing it in the fields of manufacturing, biomedical, textile, and aerospace industry. Similarly, self-healing materials have fascinated many researchers recently due to their effectiveness in improving the durability of materials and products. The concept of self-healing is a fresh perspective for advanced and responsive materials. They can be fabricated to mimic the healing ability of biological organisms, and therefore, can automatically and instantly repair damaged parts. Integrating electrospun nanofiber (0.01 to 10 μm diameter range) with a self-healing mechanism is applicable in various engineering applications. Core/shell nanofibers have been recently used in advanced composites to induce self-healing and to enhance material reinforcement.

“…The expeditious growth in the areas of smart textiles, wearable sensors, flexible displays, and medical equipment evoked increased attention in the field of flexible sensing devices. − In conventional sensing devices, petrochemical industry-based materials, metals, conducting polymers, semiconductors, and carbon-based materials are generally used as substrates for immobilizing the receptor molecules. , It is unobjectionable that these materials have played a significant role in developing flexible devices to the present stage. However, these materials are entitled to quite a few disadvantages, including nonrenewability, high production costs, and potential environmental hazards.…”

The development of flexible, biocompatible, and environmentfriendly sensors has attracted a significant amount of scientific interest for the past few decades. Among all the natural materials, silk fibroin (SF), due to its tunable biodegradability, biocompatibility, ease of processing, presence of functional groups, and controllable dimensions, has opened up opportunities for immobilizing multitudinous biomolecules and conformability to the skin, among other attractive opportunities. The silk fibroins also offer good physical properties, such as superior toughness and tensile strength. The sensors made of SF as an immobilization matrix have demonstrated excellent analytical performance, sensing even at low concentrations. The significant advantage of silk fibroins is the presence of functional groups along with a controllable conformation transition that enables immobilization of receptor molecules using silk fibroins as an immobilization matrix enables us to entrap the receptor molecules without using any chemical reagents. This review encompasses a detailed discussion on sensors, the advantages of using silk fibroins as an immobilization matrix for various receptors, their applications, and the future research scope in this state-of-the-art technology based upon the explorable applications for silk fibroin-based sensors.
