Electrical Properties of Graphite Nanoparticles in Silicone Flexible Oscillators and Electromechanical Sensing / by Samuel David Littlejohn.

This thesis examines a novel class of flexible electronic material with great potential for use in the construction of stretchable amplifiers and memory elements.  Most remarkably the composite material produces spontaneous oscillations that increase in frequency when pressure is applied to it. In t...
