Polyurethane-carbon microfiber composite coating for electrical heating of concrete pavement surfaces [PDF]
Heliyon, 2019 Electrically-heated pavements have attracted attention as alternatives to the traditional ice/snow removal practices. Electrically conductive polymer-carbon composite coatings provide promising properties for this application. Based on the concept of joule heating, the conductive composite can be utilized as a resistor that generates heat by electric ...
