Abstract

Two new elastomeric electrical conductors were developed. One is silicone infiltrated tin foam containing 14 vol.% tin. The other is short nickel fiber silicone-matrix composites containing 3-12 vol.% fibers, fabricated by the impregnation of silicone into a nickel fiber preform. Both exhibited volume electrical resistivity of the order 10-4 ohm.cm.
