Testing conductive layers on flexible and elastic substrates

Abstract

Flexible and elastic substrates with conductive layers are widely used in modern electronic applications, including wearable sensors and force-sensitive resistors (FSRs). This paper evaluates the electrical and mechanical properties of conductive layers deposited on flexible and elastic substrates. Electrical properties were assessed through resistance measurements, while mechanical durability was tested using elongation and abrasion resistance experiments. Results highlight the impact of substrate elasticity and suggest optimization for sensor technology.
