"Liquid Metal Hybrid Composites with High-Sensitivity and Large Dynamic" by Guolin Yun, Shi Yang Tang et al.
Conductive elastic composites composed of conductive fillers and polymer matrices are showing an increasing number of applications in the fields of flexible sensors, wearable devices, and stretchable electronics. Under mechanical deformation, the conductive filler network in the matrix shifts to change the conductive pathway among particles and thus, electrical conductivity of the composite. For most conductive composites, their conductivity changes monotonically with strain. Here, we report a composite that exhibits an unconventional strain response; its electrical conductivity increases shar...
