Flexible composites used as piezoresistive pressure sensors

Polymers are chemical structures that can be used for various applications. Depending on the structure of the polymer, they show various behaviour. While polymers are electrically insulator, they can conduct electricity by addition of conductive fillers. Sensors can be given as application examples of conductive polymer composites. In this work, conductive polymer composites were fabricated and their morphological, electrical and electro mechanical properties were characterized. According to outcomes, composites can be used as piezoresistive pressure sensors. In addition to that, magnitude and rate of the mechanical affect were found critical for the quality and sensitivity of the sensing behaviour.
