In this work natural rubber (NR) and carbon black (CB) were compounded, aiming the development of composites with good mechanical properties, processability and electrical conductivity for use as pressure sensors. The electrical conductivity changes from 10(-11) to 10(-2) S.cm(-1) depending on the percentage of CB in the composite. It was also observed that the conductivity varies reversibly and linearly with the applied pressure. The latter demonstrates that this material can be used as pressure sensors.99-100engnatural rubbercarbon blackcompositespressure sensorArtigo10.1016/S0379-6779(02)00866-4WOS:000182533700046Acesso restrito647558510545674476076511116192690000-0001-8001-301X
