Electrical Properties of Graphite Nanoparticles in Silicone

This book examines a novel class of flexible electronic material with great potential for use in the construction of stretchable amplifiers and memory elements which mimics the excitatory response of pressure-sensing neurons in the human skin.

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the University of Bath, UK Reports on the discovery of a broad negative differential resistance region in a flexible composite Demonstrates strain-tuned flexible oscillators Describes a pressure-sensitive material suitable for state-of-the-art bio-electronic applications Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
