a–c Relative resistance response of the LMMN film under incremental cyclic loading. a The second cycle sequence up to 20% strain. (i) Tracing previous curve, (ii) reinforcement of LMMN, and (iii) new strain-resistance curve. b Tensile strain profile, c the entire relative resistance response. d Volumetric electrical conductivity of LMMN films with different values of maximum experienced strain. e The relative resistance versus strain plot of the LMMN film with former strain experience up to 80%. Increasing strain sequence was applied from 20 to 80% during the measurement. f Resistance response of an LMMN film over 10,000 cycles to 50% strain.
