Abstract

We investigated the electrical properties of polymer-carbon composite materials for temperature sensitive resistor applications. Cu/polymer/Cu sheets were fabricated by laminating low density polyethylene(LDPE) containing carbon powders. Weight ratio of carbon powder to LDPE was varied in a range of 0.9~2. With increasing the carbon concentration, the electrical resistance of the composite material was decreased from 0.75 to $0.08\;{\Omega}cm$. The composite layer showed a abrupt increase in the electrical resistance at $115^{\circ}C$ because of the softening of the polymer.
