DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
The organic resistor having positive temperature characteristics, which uses only carbon black as the conductive filler described in Japanese Patent No. 22 has the following problems. As described above, a practical organic resistor using carbon black as a conductive filler can have a room temperature resistivity of at most about 2 Ωcm, which is unsuitable for high current applications. Further, if the resistance of the organic resistor having the PTC characteristic can be reduced, the size can be reduced. For example, as a device for preventing discharge or charge due to an excessive current in a battery or the like, a compact size convenient for accommodating inside the battery or mounting outside the battery. However, as described above, conventional carbon black products are limited in low resistance, so miniaturization cannot be achieved, and it is difficult to provide space-saving products in terms of mounting. .

Further, if the resistance can be reduced, heat generation is suppressed even with the same current, and it does not operate as a PTC, but if it is used with a large current, it will generate heat, so that it can be used with a large current. However, it is not possible to use it with a large current because it has a limitation in reducing the resistance. If the amount of the conductive filler is increased in order to reduce the resistance, the rate of change in resistance becomes small, which makes it difficult to interrupt the current in the event of an abnormality.

For example, as an organic resistor for an automobile door lock device or an overcurrent preventing device such as a battery, it is desirable that the room temperature resistivity is 10 Ωcm or less and the rate of resistance change is 5 digits or more. When it was used as a filler, the room temperature resistivity could be lowered, but the rate of change in resistance was small and it was not possible to withstand the above use.

As shown in Table 2, in the prototype, the polyvinylidene fluoride was used as the polymer, and the packing ratio of these metal powders to the polymer was almost the same (15.2% by volume or 16.8% by volume). The filling ratio of carbon black to the polymer is 3.0% by volume, and the filling ratio of carbon-coated potassium titanate to the polymer is 11.1% to 11.2%.

As can be seen from Table 2, the spike-shaped nickel powder can significantly reduce the initial resistivity. A resistance change rate of 6 digits or more is obtained, and it is understood that it is preferable to use spike-shaped nickel powder as the metal powder. The conductive filler filling rate means, for example, that the volume of the conductive filler (nickel, carbon black or potassium titanate) is a and the volume of the polymer is b, the filling rate (%) of the polymer = {a / (A + b)} × 100.

On the other hand, the whisker-like conductive oxide can increase the rate of resistance change by adding it as a conductive filler, but if it is used without treatment,
The resistance value becomes high. Therefore, it is preferable to coat the surface of the whisker-like conductive oxide with a conductive material to reduce the resistance value.To reduce the resistance value, carbon, silver, tin oxide, nickel was coated with whisker-like powder of potassium titanate, Sufficient values were obtained for both the initial resistivity and the rate of resistance change. Table 3 shows the initial specific resistance and the rate of change in resistance when the whisker-like conductive oxide coated with carbon, silver and tin oxide was used as a part of the conductive filler, and other conductive fillers and polymers were used as described above. Indicates. If silver is used as a coating material for the whisker-like conductive oxide, it becomes expensive, so carbon coating is sufficient for practical use.

In the present invention, the larger the specific surface area of the carbon black used as the conductive additive for lowering the resistance value, the greater the effect of lowering the resistance value. The resistance value decreases as the carbon black having a small specific surface area increases, but the resistance change rate decreases as the addition amount increases. Therefore, the point is how to reduce the resistance value with a small addition amount, and the specific surface area of carbon black, the initial specific resistance, and the rate of resistance change were examined. Table 4 is a table showing the results. In the sample of Table 4, the same nickel powder and carbon-coated potassium titanate as those described in Table 1 were used.

Next, the result of studying the filling amount of the nickel powder as the conductive powder will be described. In order to reduce the specific resistance, it is sufficient to add a large amount of conductive filler in the polymer, but if the addition amount is too large, the contact between the conductive fillers cannot be broken even after the polymer expands. Since the resistance does not increase and the resistance change rate is small, it cannot be practically used as a PTC resistor. Therefore, as shown in Table 5, the filling ratio of carbon black to polyvinylidene fluoride is 3.0.
%, The filling rate of carbon black to polyvinylidene fluoride is 11.1% by volume, which is almost constant.
The initial specific resistance and the rate of resistance change were measured while changing the ratio of polyvinylidene fluoride and nickel powder, that is, the filling rate of nickel powder. As a result, it was found that when the filling rate of the nickel powder with respect to the polymer was less than 10% by volume, the resistance was too large, and when it exceeded 25% by volume, the rate of change in resistance was 5 digits or less, which was not practical. .

The purpose of adding whisker-like potassium titanate is to increase the rate of change in resistance as compared with the addition of nickel alone. However, if the amount of potassium titanate is too small or too large, the rate of resistance change becomes small. Therefore, the proper addition amount was examined. Table 6 shows that the filling ratios of nickel powder and carbon black with respect to polyvinylidene fluoride were almost constant at 15.0% by volume to 15.1% by volume and 3.0% by volume, respectively, and that polyvinylidene fluoride and carbon-coated potassium titanate were mixed. The results of measuring the initial specific resistance and the rate of resistance change by varying the filling rate are shown below. From the results of Table 6, the packing ratio of potassium titanate to the polymer is 5% by volume to 20% by volume.
It has been found that when the value is an appropriate amount, a value of about 4 Ωcm or less can be obtained as the initial specific resistance and a rate of resistance change of 5 digits or more can be obtained.

Further, by adding carbon black, the specific resistance can be lowered even with a small amount of addition, so that the addition amount was investigated as an auxiliary agent of nickel powder. As in the case of nickel powder, if the carbon black filling amount is too large, the resistance change rate will be small. Table 7 shows the filling rates of nickel powder and carbon-coated potassium titanate with respect to the polymer, respectively, from 15.0% by volume to 15.1% by volume and 11.0% by volume to 11.1% by volume.
The results show that the initial specific resistance and the rate of change in resistance were measured by changing the filling rate of carbon black with respect to the polymer, and the filling rate of carbon black with respect to the polymer was 1% by volume to 5% by volume. If so, the initial resistivity is about 2
It was found that the value can be made lower than Ωcm and the rate of change in resistance can be obtained in a value of 5 digits or more.
