The carbon (the iron) -beewax.polyethylene thermistors have been prepared by heating the well ground mixture of carbon (iron), beewax and polyethylene at 16$0^{\circ}C$ for one hour and by cooling it under pressure of 12kgw/cm2. The resistivity for the former (the latter) increased from 102$\Omega$.cm (104$\Omega$.cw) to 1010$\Omega$.cm(1010$\Omega$.cm) as temperature changed from 2$0^{\circ}C$ to 9$0^{\circ}C$. The resistivity, 102$\Omega$.cm at room temperature for the former, was lower by order Q( two than that for the papostor made by the earlier reporter. The reproducibility, which has been an important Problem for this type of thermistors to be industrialized, was improved by introducing pressure in cooling procedure for both carbon and iron thermistors.

We demonstrated that high-stability thermistors can be calibrated with an uncertainty less than 1 mK, if the error due to the heat conduction is minimized. We first investigated the effect of the self-heating of typical thermistor probes to see how accurate we need to determine the effect of self-heating. We, then, calibrated thermistors and fitted the results using various modeling equations. We found out that the heat conduction is an important factor in achieving the calibration uncertainty under 1 mK for thermistors when the diameter of the probe is as thick as 10 mm. Therefore, we controlled the room temperature within $0.5^{\circ}C$ to minimize the heat conduction error during the calibration. The calibration with an uncertainty below 1 mK was possible when the stabilization time for each calibration was long enough to obtain a good thermal equilibrium.

The effect of$ZrO_2$addition on the microstructure and electrical properties of Ni-Mn oxide NTC thermistors was studied. Major phases present in the sintered bodies of $Ni_{1.0}Mn_{2-x}Zr_xO_4$ were the solid solutions of Ni-Mn-Zr oxides with a cubic spinel structure and the $ZrO_2$ with a tetragonal structure. The $ZrO_2$ was formed by the partial decomposition or incomplete formation of the Ni-Mn-Zr oxides during sintering. With increasing the amount of added $ZrO_2$, the $ZrO_2$ phase increased. The relationship between log resistivity (log p) and the reciprocal of absolute temperature (1/T) of the NTC thermistors prepared was linear, indicative of NTC characteristics. The resistivity, B constant and activation energy of the thermistors increased with increasing $ZrO_2$ content.

Interface effects on properties of NTC thermistors having Mn-Co-O spinel crystal structure system are analyzed by a mixing rule in case of mixed types and layered types between CuO and Al$_2$O$_3$ added compounds. With adding CuO and Al$_2$O$_3$, The compounds form completely solid solution and their resistance and B constant are changed due to the variation of conduction electrons by their ionic substitutions. The properties of mixed NTC thermistors are depended on the logarithmic mixing rule by a dispersed phase and they show slightly lower values due to the lattice mixing affect in compared with calculated values. The resistance of layered NTC thermistors is depended upon the series mixing rule containing the value of an interface layer and effected by the variation of its thickness, and it is changed rapidly to the logarithmic mixing rule by the connection between two layers with increasing the interface layer

Mn-Co-Ni oxide system has been used as the NTC thermistors for normal temperature applications. Mn-Co-Ni oxide-based thermistors with various compositions were sintered at 1250$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and then maintained at 1000$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The electrical properties of the thermistors fabricated were measured. In particular the MCN622 composition (Mn$_3$O$_4$60 wt%, Co$_3$O$_4$20 wt%, NiO 20wt%) exhibited the lowest resistivity and relatively high B constant. The MCN721 composition (Mn$_3$O$_4$70wt%, Co$_3$O$_4$20wt%, NiO 10 wt%) showed the higher resistivity than any other compositions. The aging properties of each composition showed comparatively stable characteristics within ${\pm}$2%.

New porous BaTiO$_3$ thermistors were fabricated using graphite powders (0 to 10 wt. %) and their porosities were in the range of 9.1% to 16.2%. As results of impedance analysis, it was confirmed that the pores affected the grain-boundary resistance and the bulk (grain interior) resistance was constant as about 25 $\Omega$ at room temperature. The magnitude of PTCR effect $(p_{max}/p)$ markedly increased from 3 orders to 7 orders without addition of any acceptor dopant such as Mn or Cr.
