A model for the dependence of the electrical conductance with the applied stress in insulating-conducting composites

A model for the dependence of the electrical conductance, G, with the strain induced by external mechanical stress in conducting particles-polymer composites is presented. The model assumes that the percolation probability between neighboring particles must depart from a scale-invariant behavior but...

description A model for the dependence of the electrical conductance, G, with the strain induced by external mechanical stress in conducting particles-polymer composites is presented. The model assumes that the percolation probability between neighboring particles must depart from a scale-invariant behavior but saturate at moderated-high strains, reaching percolation path's saturation, with sigmoid dependence. This dependence is obtained by proposing a dynamic picture where contacts or bonds between neighboring particles are created but also destructed when a stress is applied and relatively moderated or high strains, ε, are produced in the composite. The electrical conductance of prepared graphite-polydimethylsiloxane composites were measured as function of the applied pressure and fitted by the presented model. The elastic response to the uniaxial compression was studied using a texture analyzer. The possibility of nonuniversal effects in the conduction critical exponent, t, was taken into account. It is concluded that the saturation of the response in the G versus ε plots cannot be assigned to nonuniversal behavior of the exponent t, or to saturation of the elastic response.
