Self-heating structural materials
نویسنده
چکیده
Self-heating structural materials, being useful for deicing and space heating, are reviewed. They include cement–matrix and polymer–matrix composites that are rendered self-heating through enhancing their effectiveness for resistance heating. The enhancement is attained by the use of electrically conductive fibers (continuous or discontinuous) and interlayers. The interlaminar interface between continuous carbon fiber laminae provides a two-dimensional array of heating elements. Power up to 6.5 W, maximum temperature up to 134 ◦C and time to reach half of the maximum temperature rise down to 14 s have been attained.

Self-heating effect modeling of a carbon nanotube-based fieldeffect transistor (CNTFET)
We present the design and simulation of a single-walled carbon nanotube(SWCNT)-based field-effect transistor (FET) using Silvaco TCAD. In this paper, theself-heating effect modeling of the CNT MOSFET structure is performed and comparedwith conventional MOSFET structure having same channel length. The numericalresults are presented to show the self-heating effect on the I...
متن کاملPTC Self-heating Experiments and Thermal Modeling of Lithium-ion Battery Pack in Electric Vehicles
This paper proposes a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) self-heating method, in which EVs can be operated independently of external power source at low temperature, with a lithium-ion battery (LIB) pack discharging electricity to provide PTC material with power. Three comparative heating experiments have been carried out respectively. With charge/discharge tests implemented, results demons...
متن کاملMicromachining bulk glass by use of femtosecond laser pulses with nanojoule energy.
Using tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses of just 5 nJ, we produce optical breakdown and structural change in bulk transparent materials and demonstrate micromachining of transparent materials by use of unamplified lasers. We present measurements of the threshold for structural change in Corning 0211 glass as well as a study of the morphology of the structures produced by single and multip...
متن کاملExceptionally stable, redox-active supramolecular protein assemblies with emergent properties.
The designed assembly of proteins into well-defined supramolecular architectures not only tests our understanding of protein-protein interactions, but it also provides an opportunity to tailor materials with new physical and chemical properties. Previously, we described that RIDC3, a designed variant of the monomeric electron transfer protein cytochrome cb562, could self-assemble through Zn(2+)...
متن کاملSelf-Folding Origami: Shape Memory Composites Activated by Uniform Heating
Self-folding is an approach used frequently in nature for the efficient fabrication of structures, but is seldom used in engineered systems. Here, selffolding origami are presented, which consist of shape memory composites that are activated with uniform heating in an oven. These composites are rapidly fabricated using inexpensive materials and tools. The folding mechanism based on the in-plane...
