The influence of synthesis parameters, such as calcination temperature and sintering temperature, on the microstructure, phase composition, and electrical properties of NiMn 2 O 4 negative temperature coefficient (NTC) ceramics was systematically investigated. The NiMn 2 O 4 NTC ceramics were synthesized via solid-state coordination reaction. With increasing sintering temperatures, the relative density increased, whereas the porosity decreased. Single-phase, cubic spinel ceramic was obtained following sintering at 900 and 1,050°C, whereas a secondary phase, i.e., NiO, was detected when the sintering temperature was higher than 1,100°C. High-density ceramics were obtained when the sintering temperature was higher than 1,100°C, and featured the lowest room temperature resistivity of 2,924 X cm and thermal constant B of 3,429 K. The latter parameter reflects the temperature sensitivity of the NTC ceramics. Variations of the electrical property were because of increases in density and onset of decomposition.
