PBS Program Name:
ARC 20/21 Discovery
Grant Program:
Discovery Early Career Researcher Award
Grant Activity:
Defying conventions with a liquid metal-embedded hybrid elastomer composite
Purpose:
Conductive elastic composites are one of the key components used in flexible/wearable electronic devices in the manufacture of sensors and interconnects; however, conventional composites experience a relatively low sensitivity to strain, and their conductivity decreases when stretched (i.e. they exhibit a negative piezoconductive effect). This project aims to understand the unprecedented positive piezoconductive effect exhibited on the liquid metal-embedded hybrid elastomer (LMHE) and explore its potential to address the key challenges faced by conventional materials. The outcomes of this project will benefit the advanced manufacturing sector by developing high-performance composites to revolutionise future wearable electronic technologies.
