Hello,
I am student from University of Southern Denmark (BSc. Engineering (Innovation & Business) program). Where we are doing project where we are doing research on Conductive Rubber Cord Stretch Sensor and trying to use it in different applications.
Question: Can Conductive Rubber Cord Stretch Sensor be stretched for a long time (e.g. for 3 years)? It doesn't need to come back to it's original length but it should become a stronger resistor if it stretches more.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Soteras Sankalas

We have not tested it in those conditions. But I would expect it should work if the cord is protected from the elements. Most types of rubber will deteriorate with prolonged exposure to UV light and/or ozone.

Thank you again.
Following question: Can you tell me what is the exact material used to produce this resistor, that I can research for special features like resistance to heat and other environments?

Unfortunately, our supplier does not have any information on the composition of the cord.
