In this work, the effect of processing condition and radiation-crosslinking on the electrical and dynamic behaviors of carbon black filled low density polyethylene (LDPE) composites were investigated. Compared with the solution counterpart, the mechanical composites have a strong PTC effect and a great dynamic elastic mold, which results from the strong interaction between carbon black and LDPE. The experiment result shows that the NTC effect is caused by the decrease of elastic mold of LDPE at high temperature, and it can be declined significantly by radiation-crosslinking. We conclude that the strong interaction between polymer and carbon black is essentially important for composites to have a great PTC intensity good electrical reproducibility and high dynamic elastic sold.
