The Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches sur les Matériaux (CEREM: Materials Research Centre) of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) develops, as part of its research result valorization assignment, specific products making use of electronic conductive polymers. The low temperature radiant heating panels for accommodation have been studied together with the Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment (CSTB: Building Scientific and Technical Centre). The heating elements are produced from textiles made electrically conductive from polypyrrole deposit. The synthesis conditions have been optimized, a process for making the electrical connections has been proposed, and the evolution in time of the performances of these heating elements has been studied for a period of time greater than 500 days and compared to the previously established predictive models. Finally, technical solutions aiming at increasing stability in time of these elements have been provided and evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
