2We modified our goals to more suitably match our application
1. Inexpensive
2. High Elongation (>10%)
3. Fast Response Time
4. Precision
3Current Improved Processing Setup
Weighing Carbon Black Increased Mixing Time
Using Katjen Carbon BlackIncreased Surface area: 1400 m2/g
Typical Carbon Black is 100-500 m2/g
Future Improvements to Processing
Moving to a Silcone Rubber- 20:1 Mixing Ratio-Increase mixing Time
Purchasing A Dispersion Blade
Placing Samples Under Hot Press to Cure
5Four-point resistance measurements eliminate errors due to changing contact resistance.
6An automatic data acquisition setup allows for a faster sample rate.

8Sensor Arrangement and Data Processing
Final Design:
MC
Arduino
Output:•Resistance vs. Strain•Position of sensor
Multiplexer Amp
Bread Board
9Requirements for Final Design
Glove Requirements:• Flexible• Relatively rigid substrate for strain
measurement
MC
Possible Solutions:• Integrating sensor into fabric of glove• Create a glove with selective rigid sections• Molds with depth much smaller than those being
used• Cut samples with proper shape.
Sensor Requirements:• Thinner• More elastic at higher strain rates
Any Questions? 10
11Conduction in the composite cannot be explained by tunneling, but can be modeled by Mean Field Theory.
