Electro-Thermal Parameters of Graphene Nano-Platelets Films for De-Icing Applications

This paper provides a study of some relevant electro-thermal properties commercial films made by pressed graphene nano-platelets (GNPs), in view their use as heating elements innovative de-icing systems for aerospace applications. The equivalent electrical resistivity and thermal emissivity were studied, means models experimental characterization. Macroscopic strips with length on the order tens centimeters analyzed, either pure GNPs or composite mixtures small percentage polymeric binders. Analytical are derived experimentally validated. response these when acting element is studied discussed.
