Abstract
Flexible conductive composite materials have a great potential to be applied to MEMS sensors and transducers. The composite materials' electrical properties can vary from the property of an insulator to a good conductor according to the material and design. In this study, we evaluated the mechanical and electrical properties by varying the type of the filler, the type of the insulating flexible material, and the ratio of the filler to the insulating material. We used two types of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the insulating material, and two types of filler, i.e. silver powder and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The mechanical and electrical properties of the elastomer composites varied according to the type of each elements and the ratio of the insulating material to the filler. The varying characteristics make the composites suitable to be used in various applications.
