Piezoresistivity and Mechanical Behavior of Metal-polymer Composites under Uniaxial Pressure

“…The slope for all Ni-PDMS curves is 600  G . Using Equation (2) and considering Poisson's ratio with value of ~ 0.35 for polymer composites we obtain 180  Γ , which is higher than that reported for QTC TM materials (~105) (Bloor et al, 2006) and comparable to Au-coated Ni-epoxy composites (~200) (Martin et al, 2003). The gauge factor of Ni-PDMS is a characteristic parameter for this composite and does not change by concentration.…”

Vapor sensing properties of a conductive polymer composite containing Nickel particles with nano-scale surface features

“…For example, during compression the sample resistance can fall by a factor of > 10 14 . It has also been shown that charge concentration at the tips of the spiky filler particles results in large electric fields, so that charge transport occurs through electric field assisted quantum tunneling rather than by direct contact between the particles [9,10]. Granular QTC™ can be used to produce a vapor sensor which is capable of solving some of the issues highlighted above.…”

New Technology for the Synthesis of New Materials Based on Cellulose and Sorption of Noble Metals

“…They are outstandingly selective in relation to Fe and Cu and they can sorb very small concentrations of Au, Pd and Pt from the solution which gives them a complete ecological and economic feasibility and the advantage compared to existing technologies. Their special value in fundamental research is that bionanonoblemetals polymers are synthesized for use in nanoelectronics (Bloor et al, 2005(Bloor et al, , 2006Burda et al, 2005;Cao et al, 2009;Dai et al, 2006;Feng et al, 2010;Hoppe et al, 2006;Ingrosso et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2007;Lai et al, 2008;Lazzari & Lopez-Quintela, 2003;Li et al, 2010;Liu, T et al, 2003;Liu, P. et al, 2009;Sarkar et al, 2010;Sathishkumar et al, 2009;Thompson, 2007;Yaghi et al, 2003;Yin et al, 2009;Yoon et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2009;Zubarev et al, 2006) and cancer nanotechnology (Cai et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2008;Daniel & Astruc, 2004;De et al, 2008;Patraet al, 2007;Popovtzer et al, 2008;Xia et al, 2003;Yang et al, 2008;Love et al,2005).…”
