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
