Blends of polypropylene with silver particles of controlled morphology are performed to elaborate polymer‐metal conductive composites which can present a PTC effect to be used for a specific current limited function. The samples present quite low percolation threshold around 22% in volume of Ag and a resistivity at room temperature around 100 ohm.cm. Looking at the results of the analysis of the PTC effect, it can be observed that the electrical behaviour of the samples is depending of the crystalline morphology of the systems which is governed by the specific nucleation effect of the silver filler on the polypropylene matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
