A static magnetic field is applied during the hot press molding of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/carbon black (CB)/ferrous powder composites and HDPE/CB/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites. The effect of magnetic field treatment on the temperature-sensing property of polyethylene-based positive temperature coefficient (PTC) composites is investigated. Experimental results indicate that the magnetic field treatment can lead to the alignment of ferrous powders and CNT in HDPE along the direction of the applied external magnetic field, thus guaranteeing the composites have low room-temperature resistivity and high PTC intensity as the concentration of CB is cut down. This also can significantly improve mechanical property and processability of the composites. When the mass concentrations of ferrous powders and CNT are equal, HDPE/CB/ferrous powder composites present better PTC property than HDPE/CB/CNT composites after the magnetic field treatment.

Magnetic Field Treatment

A stable magnetic field was applied during hot press molding of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/carbon black (CB)/ carbon nanotube (CNT) composites and HDPE/CB/nickel powder composites. The effect of magnetic field treatment on the temperature-sensing property of LDPE-based positive temperature coefficient (PTC) composites was investigated. Experimental results indicate that the magnetic field treatment can lead to an alignment of CNT and nickel powder in LDPE along the direction of the applied external magnetic field. The alignment of these filler particles can endow the composites with low room-temperature resistivity and high PTC intensity when the concentration of CB is decreased. The alignment also can significantly improve mechanical property and processability of the composites. Compared with CNT, nickel powder with strong magnetism has more sensitive response to external magnetic field and is much easier to align in LDPE. Addition of nickel powder is beneficial for developing PTC composites with excellent comprehensive properties.

AbstractThin films (50–1200 nm) of YFeO3 were deposited on fused silica substrates by spray-pyrolysis using ethylene glycol solution of Y-Fe(III) citric complexes. The films were post deposition annealed at 750°C in static air for 2 h. Films obtained in this way were afterwards irradiated by a burst mode operated Nd-YAG laser (pulse energy 650 mJ, pulse duration 700 μs, energy density 110 mJ/cm2). The laser’s onset was synchronized with that of a magnetic field pulse of nearly square shape (magnetic induction 0.5 T, pulse duration 900 μs). The samples were placed normally to the direction of the magnetic field. The treatment does not affect the phase composition of the film but significantly increases the crystallite sizes of the phases presenting in the sample. The saturation magnetization of the films decreases as a result of the laser and magnetic field treatment and the coercive force increases by 50%.

It was found that after treatment under 10T magnetic field and temperature 900 °C the bending strength of NiAl–Cr(Mo)–Hf alloy is increased by about 75%. The fracture section observation shows that the specimens' ductility is enhanced by the magnetic field treatment. Electron probe microanalysis shows that after treatment of the magnetic field the Heusler phases at NiAl/Cr(Mo) grain boundaries are partially dissolved and the small Heusler phases particles at Cr(Mo) and matrix phases interfaces almost dissolved into NiAl matrix.

We investigated the effect of the donor-doped content on the positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) of (Ba1-xSmx)TiO3(BST) Based Ceramics that were sintered at 1300 °C for 30 min in a reducing atmosphere and re-oxidized at 850 °C for 1 h. The results indicated that the resistance jump first increased and then decreased with an increase of the donor-doped concentration. Moreover, the specimens achieved a low room temperature resistivity of 383.1 Ω·cm at a donor-doped content and exhibited a pronounced PTCR characteristics with a resistance jump of 3.1 orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the RT reisistivity of the samples reduced and increased with the increasing of the donor-dopant content in the range of 0.1−0.5 mol% Sm3+. In addition, the effect of the Sm3+-doped concentration on the grain size of the ceramics was investigated in our paper.

Temperature Coefficient Of Resistivity

Carbon-filled polyethylene composites were fabricated and tested to establish the practical lower limit of their electrical resistivity at room temperature and to investigate the trade-offs between low resistivity and the magnitude of the resistance anomaly (i.e., a large positive temperature coefficient of resistivity) that appears when such composites are heated through the polyethylene crystalline melting transition. Carbon blacks with large particle size and low surface area provided low-resistivity composites having large resistance anomalies. The largest resistance anomalies were found in composites that were well mixed, but the room-temperature resistivity also increased in composites that were cycled repetitively through the crystalline-melting transition. A mixture of carbon blacks of two different sizes provided a lower resistance than was found in a material with the same fill of only the coarser black. By controlling the composition and the processing, composites were made with room-temperature resistivities lower than 0.2 ohm cm and resistance changes of at least 2 orders of magnitude. A resistance change of as much as 5 orders of magnitude was obtained for composites with room-temperature resistivities of only 1 ohm cm.

Abstract The magnetic treatment effects on mushroom spawn growth and yield were studied. The spawn of mushroom were exposed to full-wave rectified sinusoidal magnetic field. The spawn were grown after magnetic field treatment under controlled laboratory conditions. The magnetic field treatment resulted in significant increase (P<0.05) in the growth and yield of mushroom. The number of pin heads formed, number of pin heads developed into mature mushrooms, fresh (wet) and dry masses increased up to 38.18, 34.83, 76.43, and 38.26%, respectively, while reduction in number of days for spawn complete running and number of days for appearance of pin heads was found to be -3.14 and -26.86%, respectively.

Nb-doped and Nb-Mn-codoped (1-xmol%)BaTiO3-xmol%(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BBNTx) lead-free positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method. The XRD patterns indicated that all BBNTx samples formed a single perovskite structure with tetragonal phase. 0.25 mol% Nb doped BBNT1 ceramic, sintered at 1330°C for 1h in air, had low room-temperature resistivity (ρ25) of 80 Ω•cm and a high resistivity jump (maximum resistivity [ρmax]/minimum resistivity [ρmin]) of 4.2 orders of magnitude with Tc about 152°C. The Nb-doped BBNTx (10≤x≤60) ceramics also showed distinct PTC effect with Tc between 185 and 232°C by sintering in N2, which was shut off when samples were cooled to a low temperature. In addition, The Nb-Mn-codoped BBNT1 ceramics exhibited higher resistivity jump than the single Nb-doped ones, with increasing the room-temperature resistivity.

KnbO3 is a ferroelectric material with a Curie temperature (TC) at 415°C, thus giving it the potential to be a material for high-temperature positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) applications. In this study, we investigated the PTCR effect in donor-doped KnbO3 ceramics containing 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mol% PbO. The donor-doped KnbO3 ceramics exhibited a PTCR anomaly with a relatively low room-temperature resistivity. The temperature of the tetragonal-to-cubic phase transition (TC) of the KnbO3 decreased with the amount of added PbO, while the orthorhombic-to-tetragonal phase transition (TOT) remained unchanged.
