Structural changes proceeding in composites under the effect of various mechanical deformations (stretching, compression, shear, etc.) affect the structure of an electrical conducting system. Mechanical stresses, induced by deformation of composite materials during deformation, affect both the molecular and supermolecular structure of polymers. As a consequence, they also affect a substructure bound to it and composed of filler particles. It is evident that in the case of conducting polymer composites, mechanical deformations should reflect electric conductivity of materials. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
