This study explores laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) of natural rubber (NR) latex. Conductive NR composites with conductive carbon black and few-layer graphene were formulated, enhancing electrical conductivity. The resulting bio-based polymer composites with a hybrid filler system showcased electromechanical properties, establishing the material as a potential strain sensor.
