Impedance spectroscopy of silicone rubber and vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes composites under tensile strain

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

Composites of silicone rubber and vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes were produced by capillary infiltration of PDMS. The electrical properties of silicone membranes and carbon nanotubes were investigated by impedance spectroscopy. Gauge factor was evaluated by different ways from Nyquist plots, and reached values up 8.
