Conductive NanoComposite<br />

Elastomers<br />

Volume Resistivity (W-cm) = 1 / Volume Conductivity (S cm -1 )<br />

• Broad range of conductivity lead to<br />

broad range of <strong>applications</strong> (EMI,<br />

ESD, electrostatic painting,<br />

transparent electrodes, etc..)<br />

• Methodology:<br />

– Multi-Phase Systems (Blends)<br />

– Cond. Phase relatively rigid<br />

– Percolation, Directed Morphology<br />

• Lower volume fraction conductive<br />

phase, enhances<br />

– processing<br />

– mechanical (elasticity)<br />

– optical (clarity/absorption)<br />

– cost<br />

– stability<br />

• Conductivity(external variable)<br />

– mechanoreceptor<br />

– induced polarization for actuator<br />

– electrically stimulate shape memory
