The in-situ bulk polycondensation process in combination with a ball milling dispersion process was used to prepare the water blown multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT)/polyurethane (PU) composite foam. The mechanical properties, piezoresistive properties, strain sensitivity, stress and resistance relaxation behaviors of the composite foams were investigated. The results show that the CNT/PU composite foam has a better compression strength than the unfilled polyurethane foams and a negative pressure coefficient behavior under uniaxial compression. The resistance response of CNT/PU nanocomposites foam under cyclic compressive loading was quite stable. The nanocomposite foam containing a weight fraction of carbon nanotubes close to the percolation threshold presents the largest strain sensitivity for the resistance. The characteristic of resistance relaxation of CNT/PU composite foam is different from the stress relaxation due to the different relaxation mechanism. During compressive stress relaxation, the CNT/PU foam composites have excellent resistance recoverability while poor stress recoverability.
