Mechanical characterization and sensing behavior of various inks. SEM images show the Ag particle distribution in the inks with (a) 68 wt% and (b) 75 wt% Ag loadings. All scale bars are 5 μm. (c) Tensile and (d) compressive strength measurements on the cured inks with different Ag loading contents. (e) Resistance as a function of applied pressure for three inks. The specimens for the 68% Ag ink were cylinders (diameter 1 mm, height 1 mm), and for the 70% and 80% Ag inks were serpentine filaments (length 15 mm, diameter 0.2 mm). (f) Relative current change of 68 wt% Ag/silicone ink upon three different applied cyclic pressures. The red lines show the signals for 60 kPa applied pressure. The yellow lines are the signals for 120 kPa loading. The blue lines are the signals for 250 kPa loading.
