We present a new way of combining polymer blends and pre-stretching to design strain sensing polymer composites. Fibrillization and “slippage” between conductive phases are proposed to explain the resistivity–strain behavior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
