Effects of carboxyl radical on electrical resistance of multi-walled carbon nanotube filled silicone rubber composite under pressure

Transport performance in novel elastomer nanocomposites: Mechanism, design and control

“…For example, the modification of CNTs using a silane coupling agent can improve the dependence of electrical properties on the pressure and repeatability due to improved dispersion of the CNTs and enhanced interfacial bonding with the rubber matrix after modification [47]. Carboxyl-functionalized MWCNTs can be uniformly dispersed in silicone, producing a nanocomposites with improved sensitivity and sensing linearity for pressure [150].…”

Electro-mechanical properties of triblock copolymer styrene–butadiene–styrene/carbon nanotube composites for large deformation sensor applications

“…Due to the large strains and high impact resistance, such materials are also promising for the substitution of silicon based force and deformation sensors as well as strain gages [3].…”

High-pressure resistance reversibility of polymer composites based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes

“…23 As literature results demonstrate, a perfect elasticity and sensitivity is observed at low applied pressures. 10,11,13,14 Therefore, in the ideal case, the linear characteristics of resistance-pressure should be expected. Notwithstanding, for MWCNT networks/(PDMS), the relative resistances seems to demonstrate a larger curvature under pressure due to flexibility of the PDMS matrix and have been almost recovered to its original value when pressure is removed.…”

“…[10][11][12] and MPa ranges. 13,14 In the case of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), application of high pressure (about few GPa) leads to important structural changes, which cause a radial deformation and symmetry breaking towards an elliptical shape. 15 It has been shown in SWCNT that a linear elasticity response is observed up to 1.5 GPa at room temperature, and in a triangular nanotube lattice, the deformation up to 4 GPa is reversible, beyond which the nanotube lattice is destroyed.…”
