Abstract
In this chapter, recent experimental investigations and theoretical simulations relating to nonlinear conduction of polymer nanocomposites are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to the mechanisms responsible for nonlinearity in current-voltage responses of polymer nanocomposites filled with semiconducting and conducting nanomaterials. The nonlinear behavior of such nanocomposites can be fully exploited to fabricate various electronic component devices, photovoltaic cells, gas sensors and biosensors. © 2010 Woodhead Publishing Limited All rights reserved.
