Abstract:

Polymer-based positive temperature coefficient(PTC) composites were prepared by melting blending with high impact polystyrene(HIPS) and high density polyethylene(HDPE) as matrix, carbon black(CB) as conductive filler. The selective distribution of CB in two-phase matrix composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The PTC performance of composite with different contents of CB was studied by thermistor resistivity-temperature(RT) curve tester. The results show that after adding HDPE in HIPS/CB system, the percolation threshold of HIPS/CB/HDPE composites decreases, the PTC intensity increases and the capability of voltage-withstanding also is improved.
