  • Patent number: 7001538
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a conductive polymer composition having PTC properties, that is, a PTC composition, and a PTC device comprised thereof, in particular, it relates to a PTC composition and a PTC device comprising thereof, wherein the PTC composition comprises: a) at least one crystalline thermoplastic olefin-based polymer and at least one rubber-based polymer resin containing unsaturated group; and b) conductive particles dispersed in a polymer matrix formed of component a). The PTC device comprising the PTC composition makes it possible to construct circuit protecting devices which can stably maintain their initial resistance value in spite of repeated current cycling by short-circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6828362
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a conductive polymer composition which exhibits PTC characteristics (PTC composition) and a PTC device comprising it, wherein the PTC composition comprises: a) at least one crystalline olefin-based polymer and at least one ionomer; and, b) electrically conductive particles which have been dispersed in polymer matrix formed by a). The PTC composition according to the present invention has an enhanced adhesion to electrodes, which minimizes contact resistance and increases the maximum working current (hold current). The PTC device comprising the PTC composition can be used as a circuit protection device which protects circuit from overflowing and which holds initial resistance value although it is reused after multiple short circuit have taken place.
