The present invention adopts the base-material of the blend of high density polyethylene(HDPE) and other ethylene copolymer as ptc material, because ethylene copolymer is better than high density polyethylene(HDPE) to the affinity of carbon black, can strengthen the interfacial interaction of polymeric matrix and carbon black, improve the dispersion of carbon black in matrix, the PTC performance and the mechanical property of material are improved.
On the other hand, the present invention adopts low structure carbon black to replace high structure carbon black as conductive filler material, and not only cost reduces, and the ptc material room temperature resistance that obtains is low, PTC intensity height.The generation of carbon black-filled polymer composites PTC effect is commonly considered as because temperature when raising, polymeric matrix molecular motion aggravation causes the depolymerization of carbon black agglomerate, and conductive channel destroys and produces.And the agglomeration again of carbon black recovers conductive channel, and resistivity reduces, and the generation negative temperature coefficient (negativetemperature coefficient, NTC) effect, thus offset the part positive temperature coefficient effect, make the PTC strength degradation.Low structure carbon black, the agglomeration ability, the NTC effect is little, so adopt low structure carbon black to replace high structure carbon black as conductive filler material, helps improving PTC intensity.On the other hand, the agglomeration ability makes the carbon black-filled polymer composites of low structure more approaching between the carbon black agglomerate, under the littler condition in gap, depolymerization still can take place produce the PTC effect, the little then resistivity in gap is corresponding less, so room temperature resistivity is lower.
The used ethylene copolymer of the present invention can be terpolymer EP rubber (EPDM) or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer (EEA) etc.The proportioning of high density polyethylene(HDPE) and ethylene copolymer can be (95~5): (5~95), preferably (75~50): (25~50).
The used conductive filler material of the present invention can be a carbon black, carbon fiber, and metal or conductivity ceramics powder etc., wherein carbon black is preferably the oven process carbon black.The DBP value of carbon black is less than 300cm
3/ 100g is preferably less than 120cm
3/ 100g.
The proportioning of polymer base material and conductive filler material is (98~20) among the present invention: (2~80), preferably (85~40): (15~60).The blend of material can be adopted Banbury mixer, also can adopt mill, or both is used in combination.Melting temperature is 100~200 ℃, and mixing time is 5~10 minutes.After at first HDPE and ethylene copolymer being mixed, again with the carbon black blend.
The effect of high-energy ray irradiation is to suppress the NTC effect among the present invention, increases PTC effect intensity and stability.The high-energy ray irradiation that is adopted can be Co
60Gamma-radiation also can be a high energy electron ray, and irradiation is at room temperature in the vacuum or carry out in the air.Absorption dose scope 10~500KGy, preferably 50~300KGy.
Resistance test among the embodiment, high resistance area (>10M Ω) adopt ZC36 type high resistant instrument, and low-resistance region (≤10M Ω) adopts digital multimeter.PTC intensity is used the electricalresistivity at resistivity and temperature relation curve upward peak place
