We demonstrated that negatively-charged metal oxide nanosheets can be utilized for development of novel functional ionic soft materials, by regarding them as “inorganic polymeric anions”. For example, viscoelastic ionic nanocomposite was obtained by virtue of the formation of ammonium-containing siloxane network on the titania nanosheet. The shape deformability allows us to process the thin film with a thickness of less than 100 nm, and the proton conductivity shows the multiple sensitivities to temperature, humidity, and photo-irradiation.
