Abstract

The invention relates to an adaptive material having ternary compositions. They can advantageously be used in electric cables and in terminations thereof where it serves to improve charge flow characteristics and reactions to transient electric fields. This composite material having non-linear electrical resistance comprises a polymer matrix and varistor means comprising zinc oxide, and it further includes a wetting agent.
