    Conductive Materials

    Anti-static Foam

    also: Resistive foam, ESD foam, black conductive polyurethane foam, dissipative foam
    Comes with sensitive electronic chips and components. Available in various densities, soft or stiff. Good for pressure sensing.

    Use it between two conductive layers to make a Force Sensitive Resistor >> http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Force-Sensitive-Resistor-FSR/
