The internal resistance of composite materials, particularly those containing moist wood, behaves similarly to varistors, where resistance decreases as voltage increases. This phenomenon is attributed to the presence of numerous small insulating gaps within the composite structure. Understanding this behavior is crucial for applications involving electrical conductivity and material performance under varying voltage conditions.
PREREQUISITESMaterial scientists, electrical engineers, and researchers focusing on the performance and applications of composite materials in various environments.
Generally, composites act as varistors - i.e. their resistance reduces as voltage increases. This is generic effect arising from many small (insulating) gaps found in most composites.Another said:Summary: In a composite material consisting of many components, how will the internal resistance of this material behave?
Composite materials consist of various components such as moist wood ,how will the internal resistance of this material behave?
