patent and publications

Rapid Heat Generation using Carbon Nanotubes

Deicing system is achieved by using SWNT as a layer between the transparent glass substrate. The goal of this research is to develop a very thin SWNT sheet to generate instant heat through copper electrodes for deicing. The thin layer is accomplished by spray coating the CNT solution and it is protected by specially designed protective coating.
