However,pristine silicone rubber has a low dielectric constant (ε0), requiring the use ofdielectric additives such as TiO 2 , BaTiO 3 , or Sb 2 O3 -doped SnO 2 rutile-modifiedparticles (ATO) to enhance electrical properties, but they also increase Young'smodulus (E). To overcome this problem, liquid silicone rubbers (LSR) are com-monly used in academic research due to their low E, but they often compromisemechanical integrity. In contrast, high-consistency silicone rubbers (HCR), theindustry commodity, maintain mechanical integrity even at high filler loadingsbut are limited in their use in dielectrics due to high E values. This paperexplores the potential of vinyl-terminated HCR for developing dielectric compos-ites with high electromechanical response, with an improved ε0 and a reduced Ewhile retaining mechanical and processability properties. The resulting dielec-tric HCR formulations exhibit optimal properties for developing flexible capac-itive sensors using well-established industrial products and processes 1097-4628 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14342/4642 https://doi.org/10.1002/app.54405 Capacitive sensors Dielectric constant Electroactive polymers Flexible sensors High-consistency silicone rubbers Liquid silicone rubbers Transductors Dielèctrics Polímers--Propietats elèctriques Detectors Cautxú de silicona Cautxú Polímers High-consistency silicone rubber with reduced Young's modulus.
