Unification and DC Conductivity of PDMS/NiNPs Nanocomposite
Abstract: The DC conductivity of nickel nanoparticles–polydimethylsiloxane (NiNPs–PDMS) composite materials has attracted considerable attention due to their promising applications in flexible electronics, sensors, and energy storage devices. The electrical performance of these composites is largely governed by the formation of conductive networks within the insulating polymer matrix. Incorporating nickel nanoparticles into PDMS introduces conductive pathways that significantly enhance DC conductivity once a critical percolation threshold is reached.Several key factors influence the …
