AI Technical Summary
Existing polyolefin/carbon black PTC materials suffer from performance degradation, processing difficulties, poor quality stability, and easy attenuation of the PTC effect due to high carbon black content.
A polyolefin composition was prepared by using hydrotalcite-coated modified carbon nanotubes in combination with acetylene black. The carbon black content in the composition was reduced to 3.0-6.0 parts, and 2.0-4.0 parts hydrotalcite-coated modified carbon nanotubes, 3.0-5.0 parts toughening agent, 0.3-0.4 parts antioxidant, and 0.02-0.04 parts processing aid were added.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high molecular heat-sensitive materials, in particular to a polyolefin composition for producing self-limiting temperature material, a preparation method thereof and an article containing the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] The conductive material with PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) effect is one of the functional high molecular materials which is developing rapidly at present. The resistance of the material increases with the increase of temperature, and the passing current can be reduced or even cut off when the temperature increases, and the circuit is restored when the temperature decreases, preventing the circuit from overheating and overcurrent, and achieving the effect of automatic temperature control. The PTC material can be widely used in the fields of self-limiting temperature, overcurrent protection components and devices such as petroleum and chemical fluid conveying pipelines, heating floors and heat tracing bands.
[0003] At present, the PTC material mainly includes ceramic-based and polymer-based two types. The polymer-based PTC material is mainly composed of resin polymer and conductive additive, and has the advantages of light weight, low cost and easy forming, among which the polyolefin / carbon black type PTC material is most widely used.
[0004] The polyolefin / carbon black type PTC material uses carbon black as a conductive additive. In order to make the material have PTC effect, the current addition amount of carbon black is usually high, generally more than 15% by weight. The high filling amount makes the performance of the PTC material decrease obviously, and the processing is difficult due to the increase of the viscosity of the system. In addition, the high content of carbon black also leads to poor quality stability of the material, and the PTC effect will decay or even disappear after a period of use. SUMMARY
