Abstract:Polymer-derived ceramics with piezoresistive properties consist of siliconoxycarbide nanocomposites (SiOC/C). In contrast to commercial (piezo-) resistive materials, SiCO/C nanocomposites have high pressure sensitivity and a high temperature resistance over 400°C. Because of its ceramic properties, SiOC/C can be modeled as a volume body and therefore does not require any additional spring elements. By varying the volume percent of the segregated carbon x
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
