  • Patent number: 10231287
    Abstract: An electric heating device (20) is described which has at least one first electrically conductive component (21), at least one heating layer (22) and at least one second electrically conductive component (23). According to the invention, it is envisaged that the first electrically conductive component (21) and/or the second electrically conductive component (23) is/are produced and/or arranged on the heating layer (22) by means of a thermal spraying process. Alternatively or additionally, according to the invention, it is envisaged that the electrically conductive components (21, 23) and the heating layer (22) are arranged with respect to one another in such a way that a current flow perpendicularly to the plane of the heating layer (22) and/or in the direction of the plane of the heating layer (22) is realized or can be realized. In order to produce an assembly (10), such a heating device (20) can preferably be arranged on a substrate element (11). Furthermore, a suitable production method is described.

  • Patent number: 10160651
    Abstract: Dispersion and method for the production of same. In one embodiment, the dispersion consists of a dispersing liquid and at least one solid substance that is distributed in the dispersing liquid. In order to obtain a dispersion with particularly good properties, it is provided that the dispersing liquid has an aqueous and/or non-aqueous base, that the at least one solid substance is formed of graphite and/or of carbon nanomaterial and/or of coke and/or of porous carbon, and that the at least one solid substance is distributed homogeneously and stably in the dispersing liquid. A method for the production of such a dispersion is provided such that the dispersion is produced by applying a strong accelerating voltage. In addition, various advantageous uses of such a dispersion are indicated.

  • Patent number: 9868875
    Abstract: A preferably aqueous dispersion comprises carbon nanotubes and graphene platelets, with the ratio by mass of carbon nanotubes to graphene platelets being situated within a range from ?5:95 to ?75:25. In a process for preparing a dispersion of this kind, carbon nanotubes and graphene platelets are combined so that the ratio by mass of carbon nanotubes to graphene platelets in the dispersion is in a range from ?5:95 to ?75:25. The dispersion can be used as a printing ink for producing electrically conductive films. The invention further provides an electrically conductive film comprising carbon nanotubes and graphene platelets, with the ratio by mass of carbon nanotubes to graphene platelets being situated within a range from ?5:95 to ?75:25.
