Temperature Limits : -45°C to 65°C (-50°F to 150°F), Heat Sealable : Yes, Volume Resistivity : <500 ohm-cm, Surface Resistivity : < 31,000 ohms/sq.cm
This conductive material (also known as "Velostat" or "Linqstat") is a nice addition for your wearable/sensor hacking toolkit. It's pressure-sensitive: squeezing it will reduce the resistance, so it's handy for making flexible sensors. And it's a lot less expensive than off-the-shelf pressure or bend sensors too! Each order comes with a 11"x11" (28cm x 28cm) 4mil (0.1mm) thick piece. We may fold the sheet into quarters to ship it to you. To remove any hard creases, simply lay flat on a table and

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This is a nice, thin conductive sheet that I used to replace the sensors under the panels on my Dance Dance Revolution pad. I didn't know if it would work, but it worked perfectly. I just stretched the material, one sheet covers all 4 panels, and it doesn't wear down like the aluminum tape that came with the pad. Hopefully it lasts at least a year (or more?:-)) under heavy foot stomping; so far so good.
I used this material to make a force resistance sensor with the Velostat being the variable resistive material. It worked well, but when i pressed hard on the material, the voltage levels I received were much different. This is good for basic prototyping, but I don't think it would work on any large scale application - at least not consistently.
