Sketch of a polymer composite with randomly spaced conductive particles and multiple current paths. (a) Unloaded polymer composite depicting a tunneling path of width s; (b) Polymer composite under applied stress (σ) depicting a shortening in the tunneling path from s down to s-Δs. The applied stress is exerted over the sensor electrodes causing compression in the polymer matrix.
