Abstract

We succeeded in modifying and controlling the electrical resistance of a standard High Pressure Laminate (HPL) panel through the use of a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) foil that has been embedded into the bulk of the HPL plate itself. Electrical characterizations were made and preliminary data show that this HPL-GEM embedded system can easily vary its bulk resistance by more than one order of magnitude. Data show that the bulk resistance change is exponential with the applied voltage to the embedded GEM.
