About this ebook

Carbon nanomaterials can transfer their excellent electrical conductivity to polymers while enhancing or maintaining their original mechanical properties. Conductive polymer composites based on carbon nanomaterials are finding increasing applications in aerospace, automotive, and electronic industries when flexibility or lightweight is required. Carbon-Based Conductive Polymer Composites: Processing, Properties, and Applications in Flexible Strain Sensors summarizes recent remarkable achievements in the processing–structure–property relationship of conductive polymer composites based on carbon nanomaterials. It also discusses research developments for their application in flexible strain sensors and novel processing methods like additive manufacturing.

Presents the state of the art in conductive composite materials and their application in flexible strain sensors.

Uniquely combines the processing, structure, properties, and applications of conductive polymer composites.

Integrates theory and practice.

Benefits plastics converters who wish to take full advantage of the potential of conductive plastic materials.

This book is written for material scientists and engineers researching and applying these advanced materials for a variety of applications.
