Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9003651A1] Electrical devices with improved resistance stability comprise a PTC element comprising a conductive polymer and two electrodes. The conductive polymer composition comprises an organic crystalline polymer and carbon black with a pH of less than 4.0. Particularly preferred conductive polymer compositions comprise carbon blacks which have a pH of less than 4.0, a dry resistivity RCB and a particle size D in nanometers such that RCB/D is at most 0.1. Electrical devices of the invention include heaters and circuit protection devices.
