Abstract: A new series of composites exhibiting a large positive temperature coefficient (PTC)of resistivity effect have been prepared by incorporating YBa2Cu3O7-x particles into polyethylene matrix.The PTCeffect of YBa2Cu3O7-x/polyethylene composites, which was caused by the volume effect of polyethylene, was maximum with 10 orders of magnitude at specimen with 30 vol% YBa2Cu3O7-x.The temperature at which resistivity increases rapidly depends on the melting point of polyethylene.

Key words: PTC, Polyethylene, YBa2Cu3O7-x
