Abstract
An ultra–low cost temperature sensor has been developed that uses as active sensing material an epoxy layer, mixed with a small concentration of multi–walled carbon nanotubes. A stable NTC characteristics has been measured during temperature cycling. Under Joule heating conditions, a linear current–temperature characteristics has been obtained.
