In the present work, temperature-resistance effect is found in carbon black/Polydimethylsiloxane composites. The composites were made by mixing the carbon black, aluminium oxide power and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Interdigitated copper electrodes were obtained using chemical etching method on the flexible polyimide substrate in order to determine the resistance change of the composites at different temperatures. The resistances of as-fabricated composites at different temperatures are measured using multimeter. From the results, we found out that the resistance increases dramatically with temperature increasing, and the fitting result shows that it’s an exponential increase. This composite has the potential to fabricate the flexible and high-precision temperature sensor.
