Electrical and elastic properties of conductor-polymer composites
Several series of conductor-polymer composites were prepared from metal, graphite and conducting ceramics as filler materials, and epoxy, silicone rubber, polyethylene and polypropylene as polymer matrix. Their percolation curves, pressure dependence of resistivity, and Young's modulus were examined for applications such as a pressure sensor.
