The barium-excessive BaTiO3 ceramics with BN addition for laminated positive temperature coefficient (PTC)thermistors are fabricated. The tape casting technique and reduction/reoxidation process are employed into the fabricating procedure. The influences of BN additive on ceramic characteristics are discussed. The addition over 5% leads to rectangular and abnormal large grains. The 5% BN-doped ceramics shows a resistivity of 233 Ω•cm and PTC jump of 3.4 orders of magnitude. The charge carrier density in grain bulk and acceptor state density at grain boundaries are evaluated. The correlation of BN doping amount with room temperature resistivity, PTC jump, reoxidation effect as well as charge carrier and acceptor state density are investigated.

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.

As a lead-free positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) material, [Ba0.95-x (K0.5Bi0.5)0.05Cax]1-yNbyO3 system was prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. All samples sintered in air at 1300°C possess PTC characteristics as well as semi-conductivity characteristics, especially they show high Tc(130°C~160°C) value and the jump of the resistivity (maximum resistivity ρmax / minimum resistivity ρmin ) is four orders of magnitude. Samples with the composition of 0.3mol% Nb5+ have low room-temperature resistivity (ρ25°C) of ~103Ω.cm.

The graphite nanofiber (GNF) and carbon black filled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) hybrid nanocomposites were prepared by solution mixing and melt blending techniques. The effect of addition of GNF on the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) behavior of the nanocomposites was investigated. The incorporation of small amount of GNF into HDPE/CB composites showed a significant improvement in PTC intensity and repeatability of the hybrid nanocomposites. The maximum PTC intensity was observed for the HDPE/CB/GNF (80/20/0.25) nanocomposite with a relatively low room temperature resistivity.

Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) incorporated with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by mistreatment casting technique. The result of various weight percentage loadings of SWCNTs on the swelling and electrical properties of LLDPE/SWCNTs nanocomposite also γ-irradiation effects had been investigated. It was found that, at low concentration, it uniformly disperses into an LLDPE matrix and provides LLDPE/SWCNTs nanocomposites with abundant improved electrical properties by nine orders of magnitude. Positive temperature coefficient of conductivity (PTCC)/negative temperature coefficient of conductivity (NTCC) was affected by the SWCNT contents. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscope techniques were used to investigate the dispersion of SWCNTs in the LLDPE matrix. Linear exceptional modification within direct current electrical conduction of percolative threshold-loaded LLDPE as a perform of γ-irradiation dose will be used as a nontoxic, easy, inexpensive, and sensitive method to evaluate the irradiation dose in range 10 Gy–1 kGy also can be used in fabrication of firing sensors with various ranges of temperatures.

Highly donor-doped ceramics with composition of Ba0.984Y0.016TiO3 were prepared for thermistors with positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) via a route of solid reaction, reducing sintering and aerial oxidation. The effects of Mn additive were investigated on the ceramic characteristics of composition, morphology and electrical properties. The Mn incorporation affected little on ceramic composition but resulted in an obvious change in ceramic morphology, which illustrated the average grain size of 1.16, 1.65 and 1.01 μm for Mn addition amount of 0, 0.0005 and 0.0010, respectively. The grain growth, together with the Mn additive, influenced the electrical properties of room temperature resistivity, PTCR jump, donor and acceptor densities as well as the depletion layer width.
