oven-based curing methods, showing that when voltage was applied, the film generated heat, preventing ice from forming.
The deicing tests inspired a question: If the CNT film could generate heat, why not use it to make the composite itself?
How hot can you go? In initial experiments, the researchers investigated the film's potential to fuse two types of aerospace-grade composite typically used in aircraft wings and fuselages.
Normally the material, composed of about 16 layers, is solidified, or cross-linked, in a high-temperature industrial oven.
