Polymer composites were sensitive to the external stimuli, the modified PVA moiety exhibits excellent electrical property as a function of temperature. The volume resistance measured by impedance analyzer (40 to 150oC) under broadband frequency (50Hz -1MHz). The negative temperature coefficient (NTC) was observed in the temperature range of 40 to 150oC. It offers the nonlinear resistivity, ρ = 105 (Ω-m) across pure PVA moiety. The influence of polycationic-ions crucial to obtain the gradual decrease of resistivity (ρ) up to 104 (Ω-m). The thermistor characteristics were disclosed as function of polyionic loading (wt %).
