This Process can be considered as a signal for solvent or hydrocarbon\u0000 fuel detector system and used conductive rubber composite as a flexible sensor. In this study, the nitrile/graphite composite samples were prepared containing different amounts of graphite particles. These samples have the ability to measure electrical resistance.
