[0040]A mixture is formed from zinc oxide, and additives selected from cobalt, antimony, nickel, and chromium oxide nanopowders with bismuth, silicon, manganese oxide nanopowders in a ratio given in Table 1. The zinc oxide is commercially obtainable from Horsehead Coporation, (Monaca, Pa.). The additives are commercially obtainable from Nanostructured and Amorphous Materials Inc. (Houston, Tex.).

[0042]A mixture is formed from zinc oxide, and additives selected from oxide nanopowders cobalt, and antimony, with nanopowder oxides of bismuth, silicon, aluminum and magnesium in a ratio given in Table 1.

[0043]The materials are mixed using a mixed Oxide Wet Process. The mixture is milled in a ball mill for about 6 hours in a ratio materials:ball:isopropyl alcohol=1:5:2 to form a slurry. The slurry is dried at 100 degrees Celsius. The dried powder is sieved and calcined at 550 degrees Celsius for about 2 hours in a Thermolyne 1400 furnace. The calcined powder is then ball milled for about 4 hours. The slurry formed is dried at 100 degrees Celsius and the dried powder is sieved. The powder is then pressed into pellets (thickness of about 1.5 millimeters) with a force of about 10000 pounds for about 1 minute. The pellet is sintered in a Uniaxial Press at different temperatures for about 2 hours at about 950 degrees Celsius, about 1050 degrees Celsius at a rate of about 5 degrees Cels...

The core includes a transition metal oxide, and grain boundary layer includes a sintering additive, a grain growth inhibitor additive and a grain boundary additive.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a non-provisional application that claims priority to provisional U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 60 / 991,871, filed Dec. 3, 2007; the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The invention includes embodiments that relate to a composition for use as a surge protector and / or varistor. The invention includes embodiments that relate to a method of using the composition, or derived device.[0004]2. Discussion of Art[0005]A varistor is an electronic component with a non-ohmic current-voltage characteristic. Varistors may protect circuits against excessive transient voltages by incorporating them into the circuit in such a way that, when triggered, they will shunt the current created by the high voltage away from the sensitive components. A varistor may be known as Voltage Dependent Resistor or VDR.[0006]A type of varistor is the Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV). This contains a ceramic mass of zi...
