Design and fabrication of electrically conductive elastomer

Electrically conductive elastomers are widely used material in the electrical industry. There are many different kinds of electrically conductive elastomers, each with different kinds of conductive filler material. A conductive filler material varies in material, shapes and sizes. It is added to a n...
