Abstract

A negative temperature coefficient–positive temperature coefficient (NTC-PTC) composite thermistor with high performance was designed by glass/ceramic composing. The material exhibited low resistivity and a large negative temperature coefficient of resistivity. The minimum resistivity was the magnitude of 102 Ω cm, and the negative temperature coefficient of resistivity was better than −3% °C−1. The results showed that the large negative temperature coefficient of resistivity was closely related to the glass phase, and the NTC-PTC functional composite material was a kind of grain-boundary–controlled material.
