3D Graph Theory Analysis Unveils the Role of Structure‐Dependent Contact Resistances in Conductive Polymer Composites

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
We used advanced image analysis on 3D‐reconstructed filler particle networks in silver‐PDMS conductive polymer composites to decouple network structure and particle–particle contact resistance above the percolation threshold. The silver loading–dependent changes in network structure were not strong enough to change the macroscopic conductivity, proving
