Investigation of Carbon-Based Composites for Elastic Heaters and Effects of Hot Pressing in Thermal Transfer Process on Thermal and Electrical Properties

“…The high surface area of graphene should allow for the additional compression of composite, increasing numbers of connections between single platelets and thus resulting in lower electrical resistance. Janczak et al [12] observed such phenomena, but with no change of resistance for carbon black, which also has a high surface area, such change in resistance comes from the shape of individual particles of conductive phase. While carbon black and graphite could be categorized as amorphic, graphene is in the shapes of platelets.…”

“…The use of thermal transfer in creating flexible electronics on fabrics is a very new field. Currently, printing conductive surfaces using ink containing silver nanowires [9], a body heat absorber integrated into clothing [10], an antenna for signal transmission made of carbon inks [11], and a piano integrated into fabric [12] have been investigated. Due to the novelty of this technology and its potential for mass production, it requires further investigation.…”
