Resistivity can be used as a guide to the role a material performs ia a specific device. Materials having high values, such as Teflon, serve an iasulation function (see Insulation, electrical). Metals such as silver and copper are excellent conductors. Organic compounds and polymers can cover a wide range of values, and the actual resistivity depends on exact composition. [Pg.122]

A method for the estimation of composite material performance from the characteristics of fillers and the matrices and from the configuration of filler is generally called the law of mixture. In the most basic form of the law of mixture, the characteristics of a composite material are represented as a function of characteristics of constituent components and their volume fractions, as shown in Fig. 3. For a composite material (characteris-ticsiA f) that consists of component A (characteristics Xa, volume fraction ) and component B (characteristics Xf, volume fraction b), the basic formulae of the law of mixture are as follows ...
