Goals Achieved Inexpensive High Elongation (>10%) Precision (Error <6%)
There is a minimum concentration of carbon black required for conductivity.
Conduction in the composite cannot be explained by tunneling, but can be modeled by Mean Field Theory. e- e- 4nm
As the sample elongates, the distance between nearby carbon black particles changes.
