摘要

Abstract

Developing an effective method for improving the reproducibility of positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect is of great significance for large-scale application of polymer based PTC composites

owing to its contribution to the security and reliability. Herein

we developed a carbon black (CB)/high density polyethylene (HDPE)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composite with outstanding PTC reproducibility

by incorporating 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([OMIm][NTf

]) into the composite. After multiple repeated temperature cycles

the PTC performance of as-prepared material keeps almost unchanged and the varition of resistance at room temperature is less than 7%. Our studies revealed that [OMIm]

[NTf

] contributes to the improvement of PTC reproducibility in two ways: (i) it acts as an efficient plasticizer for refining the co-continuous phase morphology of HDPE/PVDE blends; (ii) it inhibits the crystallization of PVDF through the dilution effect

leading to more overlaps of the volume shrinkage process of HDPE and PVDF melt which results in the decrease of interface gap between HDPE and PVDF. This study demonstrated that ionic liquids as the multifunctional agents have great potential for improving the reproducibility in the application of the binary polymer based PTC composites.
