Schematic illustration showing variations in (a) nickel particle ratios, (b) oil content ratios, and (c) dithiol content ratios. Conductivity response curved for NPC with varying (d) nickel particle ratios, (e) oil content ratios, and (f) dithiol content ratios. The dashed horizontal line indicates a conductivity of 10−3 S m−1. g Conductivity values at 50% strain (ON conductivity) corresponding to different nickel particle ratios. h Conductivity order change with varying oil content ratios. i Strain at which conductivity reaches 10−3 S m−1 in the forward sweep as a function of dithiol content ratios. In (g–i), the black dots represent the average of three samples and the gray represents the standard deviation.
