Conductivity means the ability or the degree of a material or a object to conduct electricity. This conductive material (also known as “Velostat” or “Linqstat”) is a nice addition for your wearable/sensor hacking toolkit. It’s pressure-sensitive: squeezing it will reduce the resistance, so it’s handy for making flexible sensors. And it’s a lot less expensive than off-the-shelf pressure or bend sensors too! Each order comes with a 11″x11″ (28cm x 28cm) 4mil (0.1mm) thick piece. We may fold the sheet into quarters to ship it to you. To remove any hard creases, simply lay flat on a table and put a heavy book on top to flatten it out. This presentation from Hannah Perner-Wilson (plusea) has a lot of great ideas for how to use this material. https://youtu.be/gWZi71JkPAA https://youtu.be/gWZi71JkPAA Technical details Dimensions: 11″ x 11″ (280mm x 280mm) 4 mil / 0.1mm thick Weight: 18.66g Temperature Limits : -45°C to 65°C (-50°F to 150°F) Heat Sealable : Yes Volume Resistivity : <500 ohm-cm Surface Resistivity : < 31,000 ohms/sq.cm Related
