Conductive sheet - pressure sensitive

Velostat/Linqstat - Pressure-Sensitive conductive sheet

This material also known as "Velostat" (or "Linqstat") is a conductive material that can be used to create wearable and/or sensor toolkit.

It is a pressure-sensitive material: squeezing it and the resistance will decrease (it is handy to making flexible sensors). It can act like a bend sensor! Each order comes with a 28cm x 28cm sheet (0.1mm tickness).

The sheet may fold to ease the shipping. To remove any hard creases, simply lay flat on a table and put a heavy book on top to flatten it out.

This presentation from Hannah Perner-Wilson (plusea) has a lot of great ideas for how to use this material.
