“…Solution mixing technique consists of three steps. 18,34,75,82,106,113 First, the fillers and the elastomers are dispersed separately in a solvent. In the case of vulcanizable elastomers, the vulcanizing agents are added to the solution at this stage.…”

“…46 The solution mixing method is advantageous for laboratory preparation, 80 but is not suitable for industrial production. 106,113 It is generally adopted when a material with exceptional properties is needed 82 because with the choice of the right solvent it is possible to obtain a uniform dispersion. 113,121 However, the technique has many drawbacks.…”

“…63 Like solvent mixing, latex mixing method also involves three steps. 82,113 First, the fillers are dispersed in an aqueous solution, before mixing with the rubber latex, and finally, the mixture is vulcanized and dried. The method is very similar to the solution mixing method 80,113 but, in this case, the elastomer is in the latex form.…”

Even though carbon nanotubes offer an excellent solution for the design of strain sensors, their widespread commercial utilization has been hampered by the unavailability of design rules, inconsistencies in their macro‐scale properties, and lack of understanding of the effects of various parameters on their characteristics. Nevertheless, many researches have been carried out to characterize elastomeric nanocomposites filled with carbon nanotubes in order to optimize their properties such as electrical conductivity and strain sensitivity range. This article reviews the effect of different parameters on the electrical properties of such nanocomposites, followed by the analysis of performances of elastomer strain sensors.

“…The basic mechanism of shear melt dispersion is to effectively disperse fillers through a thermoplastic matrix when the matrix is in a molten state and shear forces are applied to the composite. This dispersion method is popular in industry because of its low cost and simplicity [96] and can be done in an internal mixer or in an extruder. [97] Manufacture of composites via shear melt dispersion mechanisms can be achieved through the action of hot rollers (such as calendering) or through the rotation of a screw configuration (melt extrusion).…”

The progress of Industry 4.0 and the advancement of robotic design are revealing a significant gap in the capabilities of current manufacturing techniques and the selection of materials that are available in electronics. Present‐day electrical systems largely rely on metals, but there is a driving need to develop new electrically conductive objects with a wide range of material properties, including expanded flexibility and softness, and with increasingly complex geometries. Electrically conductive composites can replace traditional metal‐based systems. In particular, thermoplastic composites become electrically conductive with the incorporation of conductive fillers or polymers while retaining to a large extent the processability of the thermoplastic matrix. This is where fused filament fabrication (FFF), an additive manufacturing (AM) technique capable of processing a variety of thermoplastic‐matrix feedstock materials, can be leveraged to create electrically conductive objects with new functionalities. While there is an increasing number of publications describing the FFF of electrical objects such as sensors and circuits, there is no comprehensive review outlining the functioning mechanisms, drawbacks, and advantages of FFF as applied to conductive materials. The present review fills this lacuna by offering a critical analysis of the specific challenges and solutions to promote FFF of electrically conductive polymers and composites.

“…In general, non-foamed silicone composites with assembled CNT/G hybrids can be produced by solution blending in various solvents [ 31 ] or/and mechanical blending methods (ultrasonication, calendering, stirring, extrusion, high shear mixing, etc.) [ 32 , 33 ]. So far, the combination of solution and mechanical blending approaches is the most popular strategy for the fabrication of CNT/G/PDMS composites ( Figure 3 ).…”

This review is dedicated to versatile silicone rubber composites based on carbon nanotube/graphene (CNT/G) hybrid fillers. Due to their unique mechanical, electrical, thermal, and biological properties, such composites have enormous potential for medical, environmental, and electronics applications. In the scope of this paper, we have explored CNT/graphene/silicone composites with a different morphology, analyzed the synergistic effect of hybrid fillers on various properties of silicone composites, and observed the existing approaches for the fabrication of hybrid composites with a seamless, assembled, and/or foamed structure. In conclusion, current challenges and future prospects for silicone composites based on CNTs and graphene have been thoroughly discussed.
