Carbon nanotubes and expanded graphite based bulk nanocomposites for de-icing applications

This work deals with the design of bulk nanomaterials able to provide ice protection in different applications ranging from civil to aerospace and automotive engineering. Bulk nanomaterials containing dispersed electrically conductive nanoparticles have been formulated. The heating performed through the Joule effect represents an efficient strategy to rapidly contrast extreme cold and humidity conditions, to reduce environmental pollution and to...
