The influence of the structure and the temperature on the Conductive Polymer Composites (CPC) properties has been studied. The investigated CPC are based on homo- and heterogeneous polymer blends of high density polyethylene, polybutylene terephthalate and poly(m-xylene adipamide), filled with dispersed silver nanoparticles (Ag). It is shown that by the appropriate use of the immiscible polymers blends the percolation threshold can be decreased twice, what significantly reduces costs and keeps better mechanical properties. Additionally, it was found that depending on the choice of CPC structure the commutation temperature from a conducting state to an insulating state can be observed between 45 and 180 °C. The observed high intensity of Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) effect, i.e. a sharp (narrow temperature range) and strong (10 orders of magnitude) resistivity increase, makes such composites promising for current limiting devices and temperature sensors.
