Black Antistatic foam supplier? - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

**Krumlink** · 30th July 2008, 06:40 PM

One of the engineers and myself came up with a design for a hand that would mimic your motions, and for the tips of the fingers we were going to have pressure sensors. These would be homemade ones using antistatic foam inbetween. It is the open cell foam, not the cell's filled with air. I was wondering if anybody knew where I could get about 5ft² of the stuff for the team. Thanks. (already looked at google and did not find what I was looking for)

hi,
Have you seen this technology.? I know that its not the ESD foam, but its interesting.

Thinking of getting a set for experimentation.

The problem is, it's resistance changes with age, some foams increase in resistance as it starts to crumble others decrease in resistance as they become more compressed.
