Information Percolation Threshold

AI Thread Summary

Information on the percolation threshold, which refers to the point at which increased particle concentration in metals-loaded polymers leads to the formation of electrical pathways and a significant decrease in resistance, can be found in the book "Physics and Geometry of Disorder" by A. Efros. This resource is recommended for its insights into percolation theory. Understanding this threshold is crucial for applications in materials science and electrical engineering. Further exploration of the topic may yield additional academic papers and studies. This foundational knowledge is essential for advancing research in conductive polymer composites.

Can anyone help me find information on the percolation threshold, i.e for when particle concentration is increased to a point when electrical pathways are created and resistance decreases by many orders, for metals loaded polymers.

Cheers

Hi.
I can introduce you a useful book:
Physics and Geometry of Disorder. by A. Efros.
U can find very useful information about percolation theory.

Good Luck.

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev
