Conductive Elastomers

Group research by Sara Hendren, Sam Jacoby, & Woong Ki Sung I. Introduction. “Elastomers,” from the combined terms “elastic” and “polymer,” encompass a broad range of rubber and rubber-like materials, with conductive particles embedded inside—making them conductive composites. Since they’re highly mold-able and naturally highly resistant, elastomers are widely used for their insulating or dissipative [...]

Conductive Ink (silver based)

By: Shan Gao, Jeremy Roc Jih, and Adedoyin Ogunniyi   Conductive ink is a rising technology that is making circuitry available to a larger audience than the traditional method.  The ink can be inserted into a standard roller-ball pen which is highly available, cheap, and precise.  This pen can then be used to write on paper.  Paper is [...]

Assignment 2: Research on Conductors

Due: 3pm, Tuesday, September 27, 2011 See student posts here You will research different classes of conductive materials in small teams.  The goal of this assignment is for you to get a deeper understanding of a particular material, learn how to use scientific papers in your explorations, and discover new materials that you can employ [...]
