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 [...]
