本研究探討碳黑加量、電漿處理、60Coγ-ray輻射劑量對高密度聚乙烯/碳黑複合材料之正溫度係數(Positive Temperature Coefficient, PTC)與負溫度係數(Negative Temperature Coefficient, NTC)效應的影響。另一方面也研究了高密度聚乙烯/碳黑材料的表面型態、斷面型態以及動態機械性質。研究中發現,電漿處理能輕微的消除複合材料NTC效應,而添加DCP與使用60Co γ-ray輻射交聯都是提升PTC效應的有效方法,且利用動態機械分析觀察也得到相同的結果。當複合材料組成為PHDPE(40W,30min)/CB(40wt%)DCP(2phr)/5M-rad時, PTC強度可達到7個Order,並且經過了10次的熱循環測試,此組成材料具有相當好的回覆性。而PHDPE(40W,30min)/CB(40wt%)/ DCP(2phr)/10M-rad的組成PTC強度可達到8個Order。在經濟上的考量下,這二組材料都可被用來當作PTC元件。
In this investigation, the effect of carbon black content, plasma treatment, 60Co γ-ray irradiate dose and additives on the positive temperature coefficient(PTC) behavior and negative temperature coefficient(NTC) behavior of high density polyethylene/carbon black(HDPE/CB) composites were studied. On the other hand, the surface morphology observations, the fracture surface morphology observations and the dynamic mechanical properties of HDPE/CB composite were also studied. It was found that the plasma pretreated was slightly decreased the NTC effect. On the other hand, adding dicumyl peroxide(DCP) and irradiation by 60Coγ-ray irradiation were good methods for increasing the PTC intensity. Used the dynamic mechanical analysis were processed the same result. In this investigation, the composites of PHDPE(40W.30min)/CB(40wt%)/DCP(2phr)/5M-rad possessed 7 order of PTC intensity. After 10 times thermal cycle measurement the reproducibility of PHDPE(40W.30min)/CB(40wt%)/ DCP(2phr)/5M-rad was very good. PHDPE(40W.30min)/CB(40wt%)/ DCP(2phr)/10M-rad possessed 8 order of PTC intensity. These two composites could be used PTC element under economical consideration.
