Electrically conductive composites of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), and carbon black-polypyrrole (CB-PPy) were prepared by melt compounding followed by compression molding or by filament production followed by fused filament fabrication (FFF). The storage modulus (G′) and complex viscosity (η*) of the composites increased with the addition of CB-PPy leading to a more rigid material. The electrical and rheological percolation threshold of composites were 5 and 3 wt%, respectively. In fact, composites with 5 wt% or more CB-PPy content display G′ higher than G″ indicating a solid-like behavior. Furthermore, the addition of CB-PPy increased the electrical conductivity of all composites. However, the electrical conductivity values of composites containing 5 and 6 wt% of CB-PPy produced by compression molding are one and seven order of magnitude higher than those of FFF composites with same composition. Compression molded and 3D printed composites with 6 wt% of CB-PPy displayed high sensitivity/gauge factor, large measurement range and reproducible piezoresistive response during 100 loading-unloading cycles for both processing methods. The results presented in this study demonstrated the potential use of FFF for producing piezoresistive flexible sensors based on PVDF/TPU/CB-PPy composites.
