[en] The influences of irradiation on Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) functions of polymer-carbon black composites are studied systematically, using HDPE, LDPE, PE/EPDM, PE/EEA as polymer matrixes and carbon black as conductive fillers. The results show that under a certain radiation dose, a remarkable improvement of the PTC intensity and the reproducibility of PTC curves of most polymer blends can be achieved, and Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) effects are decreased or eliminated. The mechanism of crosslinking structure on improving and stabilizing the PTC functions of polymer blends is also discussed through modern structural analysis methods. In this paper, an interesting and significant phenomenon is discovered. The PTC curve of PE/EPDM/CB composite presents an obvious NTC phenomenon as the dose exceeding 2 MGy. (author)
