A. Dziedzic et al., FURTHER EXAMINATIONS OF CARBON POLYESTERIMIDE THICK-FILM RESISTORS, Journal of materials science. Materials in electronics, 4(3), 1993, pp. 233-240
A carbon (carbon black and/or graphite)/polyesterimide resin system ha
s been used as a material for polymer thick-film resistors. The physic
al and chemical properties of this system as a function of curing temp
erature were evaluated by means of resistance measurements during the
curing process, thermogravimetric analysis, adhesion measurements and
scanning electron microscopy examinations. The temperature range betwe
en 250 and 300-degrees-C has been chosen as the most suitable. The bas
ic electrical properties and the resistance stability to low and high
temperature shocks and humidity exposure have been evaluated in relati
on to the conductive filler used in the ink.
