Composites containing carbon nano tube (CNT) or carbon black (CB) conductive particle filler have the special characteristics of positive-temperature-coefficient (PTC) effects of resistivity. We quantitatively studied the relationship between poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) polymer's thermal volume expansion and the PTC effects of PVDF/CNT and PVDF/CB. The equation to revise filler content at each temperature due to the considerable thermal volume expansion rate of PVDF polymer indicates that filler content decreased with rising temperature. The graphs of filler content at room temperature plotted against apparent filler content with PTC effect were linear and their slopes were constant. From these graphs, we can determine the filler content necessary to occurring PTC effects. For example, the CNT content was 89% at room temperature, and the CB content was 93%. To our knowledge, this study is the first to report such phenomena.
