Abstract: The piezoresistive behavior of polyvinyl chloride/carbon black(PVC/CB) conductive composites subjected to uniaxial compression-decompression cycles was studied. The composites exhibited a significant piezoresistance, when CB mass fraction w was located in the vicinity of the percolation threshold wc. The composites displayed a positive pressure coefficient(PPC) effect at w<wc and negative pressure coefficient(NPC) effect at w>wc. Uniaxial compression might facilitate the NPC effect or weaken the PPC effect when w was located in the vicinity of wc.
