PO/CB (Polyolefin/Carbon Black) PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) composite with easy processing, low cost characteristics has been applied widely. But it suffered from a relatively short lifespan because of its NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) effect and low PTC intensity. In order to overcome this shortcoming, the CF was calcination-treated to prepare LDPE/CF (Low Density Polyethylene/Carbon Fiber) PTC composite. Influence of length, content and treatment method of CF on PTC properties of composites was investigated. Results showed that 0.5mm length CF in composites had higher PTC intensity than that of 2mm length CF. PTC intensity of the composites was enhanced more effectively by calcination treated CF compared to the untreated CF. The maximum PTC intensity was 8.1 when CF’s content was at 8wt%.

Auto Thermal Control device is an electronic based device which employs the application of temperature sensors to controlling household appliances without human interference directly. In this work, thermal source is used to regulate electrical fan and room heater depending on ambient temperature. The room heater, which is adjusted to a set temperature, switches ‘ON’ when the temperature of a room is low (cold). While the same is switches ‘OFF’ with increase in the room temperature. This triggers ‘ON’ an electric fan at different speeds, and thus cools the room. A temperature sensor, tthermistor, monitors change in room temperature. Two types of thermistor exists: Positive Temperature Coefficient, PTC. An increasee in the resistance of PTC results in increasee in temperature). In the Negative Temperature Coefficient, NTC; a decreasee in resistance yields to temperature increase. This article explored a NTC thermistor. The design could be a ready product in the market of the developing nation where environmental automation is yet fully deployed.

A negative temperature coefficient–positive temperature coefficient (NTC-PTC) composite thermistor with high performance was designed by glass/ceramic composing. The material exhibited low resistivity and a large negative temperature coefficient of resistivity. The minimum resistivity was the magnitude of 102 Ω cm, and the negative temperature coefficient of resistivity was better than −3% °C−1. The results showed that the large negative temperature coefficient of resistivity was closely related to the glass phase, and the NTC-PTC functional composite material was a kind of grain-boundary–controlled material.

Carbon fiber (~5mm long)-reinforced mortar is found to be an effective thermal sensor. In this paper, relations between temperature change and resistivity of carbon fiber- reinforced mortar (CFRM for short) with different carbon fiber contents (0.4%~1.2% by mass of cement) are studied. The results show that during the initial period, the resistivity decreases when the temperature increases (Negative Temperature Coefficient effect). After the temperature reaches a certain value, the resistivity increases when the temperature increases (Positive Temperature Coefficient effect). Besides, with the change of carbon fiber content, the transit temperature of NTC/ PTC effect also changes. Based on the experimental results, the CFRM shows a potential use as a thermal sensor. The mechanisms of temperature- sensitive properties and NTC/ PTC transition are also discussed.

AbstractThe toxicity of two pyrethroid insecticides, S-bioallethrin and cypermethrin, was investigated over time at 12, 25 and 31°C in susceptible and kdr resistant strains of Blattella germanica (L.). Both strains showed a negative temperature coefficient (i.e., greater kill with decreasing temperature) for S-bioallethrin. The susceptible strain had a negative temperature coefficient for knockdown, but a positive temperature coefficient for mortality towards cypermethrin. The resistant strain had a negative temperature coefficient towards cypermethrin at all times. Resistance to S-bioallethrin was generally greatest at 25°C initially, although the difference between temperatures and the level of resistance diminished with time. Resistance to cypermethrin was significantly less at 12°C than at 25 or 31°C.
