摘要
This paper describes the accepted meaning of the term ＇negative resistance＇ and its use in the literature, and discusses the features in the previously published data on QTC^TM （market name of a metal-polymer composite） that show that the non-linear, hysteretic current voltage characteristics are not caused by Joule heating. The benefit of the high metal filler loading in QTC^TM and other unique features of this composite are reviewed.
