We have prepared polymer composites of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and ionomers (Surlyn 8940) containing polar segments and metal ions by melt blending with carbon black (CB) as a conductive filler. The resistivity and positive temperature coefficient (PTC) of the ionomer/LDPE/CB composites were investigated with respect to the CB content. The ionomer content has an effect on the resistivity and percolation threshold of the polymer composites; the percolation curve exhibits a plateau at low CB content. The PTC intensity of the crosslinked ionomer/LDPE/CB composite decreased slightly at low ionomer content, and increased significantly above a critical concentration of the ionomer. Irradiation-induced crosslinking could increase the PTC intensity and decrease the NTC effect of the polymer composites. The minimum switching current (Ι$\sub$trip/) of the polymer composites decreased with temperature; the ratio of Ι$\sub$trip/ for the ionomer/LDPE/CB composite decreased to a greater extent than that of the LDPE/CB composite. The average temperature coefficient of resistance (${\alpha}$$\sub$T/) for the polymer composites increased in the low-temperature region.

In this study, we have investigated electrical properties of semiconductive materials for power cable caused by copper tape shield structure. Volume resistivity of specimens was measured by volume resistivity meter after 10 minutes in the pre-heated oven of both 23 [$^{\circ}C$] and 90 [$^{\circ}C$]. From this experimental results, the volume resistivity had different properties because of PTC/NTC tendency at between 23 [$^{\circ}C$] and 90 [$^{\circ}C$].

The effects of composition ratios and sintering conditions in Co1-xMgxO ceramics on the sintering characteristics, electrical properties and oxygen sensing characteristics were investigated. In the same sintering conditions, porosity decreased with increase of MgO contents. The relationshiop of temperature and resistance in Co1-xMgxO ceramics showed NTC(negative temperature coefficient) characteristics at the temperature range from $700^{\circ}C$ to 1,10$0^{\circ}C$. In the case of pure CoO, however, the PTC(positive temperature coefficient) characteristics were shown over about 90$0^{\circ}C$. The electrical conductivity of Co1-xMgxO ceramics decreased proportionally with decrease of oxygen partial pressure at the range from 1 to 10-4(atm). Particularly, Co0.5Mg0.5O ceramics showed the highest sensitivity to oxygen gas.

In this paper, we designed a 2-stage CMOS operational amplifier with temperature compensation function using 2-poly 4-metal 0.35 $\mu$m standard CMOS technology. Using two bias circuits, the positive temperature coefficient(PTC) and the negative temperature coefficient(NTC) of the bias circuit are canceled out each other. When reference current circuit is simulated that it has a temperature coefficient of -150 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ with a temperature change from 0 $^{\circ}C$ to 120 $^{\circ}C$. Also the proposed circuit has a temperature coefficient of -0.011 dB/$^{\circ}C$ of DC open loop gain with the same temperature range.

기존의 발열유리 온도 제어 방법은 PTC Type 또는 NTC Type 의 온도센서를 발열유리에 부착하여 발열유리온도를 검지하여 제어를 한다. 온도센서가 발열유리 표면에 부착됨으로써 온도센서박스 및 온도센서용 통신선로가 추가적으로 필요하다. 또한 외관과 시야가 나빠진다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 실내의 온도와 실외의 온도를 검지하여 유리 표면에 온도센서가 부착하지 않은 발열유리 온도제어시스템에 관한 연구를 하였다. 그리고 실내에서 전열기로 사용하는 경우에 한하여 온도센서리스 방식의 발열유리 온도제어시스템에 관한 연구 및 실험을 하였다.

In this study, we have investigated electrical and mechanical properties of semiconducting materials for power cable caused by CNT. Specimens were made of sheet form with the four of specimens for measurement. Volume resistivity of specimens was measured by volume resistivity meter after 10 minutes in the pre-heated oven of both $23{\pm}\;1\;[^{\circ}C]\;and\;90{\pm}\;1\;[^{\circ}C]$. And stress-strain of specimens was measured by TENSOMETER 2000. A speed of measurement was 200[mm/min], ranges of stress and strain were 400[Kgf/Cm2] and 600[%]. From this experimental results, the volume resistivity had different properties because of PTC/NTC tendency at between $23[^{\circ}C]\;and\;90[^{\circ}C]$. Also volume resistivity was low by increasing the content of CNT. It means that a small amount of CNT has a excellent electrical properties. And stress was increased, while strain was decreased by increasing the content of CNT. Thus, we could know that a small amount of CNT has a excellent electrical and mechanical oroperties.

Most portable mobile devices employ rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. This lithium-ion battery usually suffers from the possibility of explosion due to heat generation from surrounding atmosphere or internal deficiency during charging or at overuse. To solve these problems, most rechargeable batteries have a built-in protection circuit module (PCM). The resistance of a properly processed $VO_2$ critical temperature sensor (CTS) is changed dramatically at a critical temperature of around $68^{\circ}C$, which can replace some bi-metal, NTC, or PTC sensors embedded in PCM. Such $VO_2$ CTS consumes a very small current at the level of natural discharge. Experimental results showed that this CTS could be applied to a PCM as the PCM could protect the battery while keeping its power consumption at minimum.

The thermistors and AD590 are widely used for temperature measurement in space application. The resistance of thermistor will vary according to the temperature variation therefore the external voltage or current stimulus signal have to be provided to measure resistance variation. Recently high resolution electro optic camera system of satellite requires tight thermal control of the camera structure to minimize the thermal structural distortion which can affects the image quality. In order to achieve $1^{\circ}$(deg C) thermal control requirement, the accuracy of temperature measurement have to be higher than $0.3^{\circ}$(deg C). In this paper, the accuracy of temperature measurement using thermistors is estimated and analyzed.
