We investigated the effect of different solvents on the Cu micropatterns formed via femtosecond laser reduction patterning. Solvents such as ethylene glycol, 2-propanol, and glycerol were mixed with CuO nanoparticles and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The degree of reduction and the resistivity of the fabricated micropatterns depended on the solvent. Glycerol was the most effective reducing agent. This solution was used to fabricate Cu/Cu2O composite micro-temperature sensors. Cu-rich electrodes and Cu2O-rich sensors were selectively formed by controlling the laser scanning speed at 5 mm/s and 0.5 mm/s, respectively, when the pulse energy was 0.53 nJ. The temperature sensor exhibited a negative temperature coefficient of the resistance, which was consistent with the value for Cu2O.

PVC filled with carbon black (CB) composition were prepared by a conventional melt-mixing method. The effects of CB on the negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) effect and the resistivity-temperature characteristic of PVC/CB composites were studied. Our present research suggests that percolation threshold can be obtained for the content of CB 10%. The reasons of NTC phenomenon were also investigated from point of view of polymer structure. We also discussed relationship between the current and voltage, that is, the I-U characteristic of the composites can be divided into two regions, ohmic and nonohmic according to the different content of CB and voltage.
