- Additional information
- We show, for the first time, how a highly-aligned carbon nanotube web, of negligible weight, can be used as a tunable heating element in an energy efficient anti-icing/de-icing device which may be deployed on aircraft wings, nacelles or wind turbines. This technology is now being further developed through a competitive Proof of Concept award from Invest Northern Ireland with the aim of developing this to a commercial product.
