Photographs of a Polymeric Complex Stretched to 3,500%, and Electrical Conductivity Graph

Caption

Contrary to typical materials, the electrical conductivity of which decreases when the shape of the materials is changed by an applied tensile strain, the new material developed by the KIST research team shows a dramatic increase in conductivity under a tensile strain of 3,500%.
