  • Publication number: 20240018041
    Abstract: The present application relates to a concrete pre-mix composition comprising a cementitious material and a plurality of conductive carbon microfibers mixed with said cementitious material, where said conductive carbon microfibers are present in the concrete pre-mix composition in an amount such that, when said concrete pre-mix composition is hydrated to form concrete and cured, the conductive carbon microfibers are dispersed in the cured concrete in an amount of 0.75% to 2.00% of total mass of the concrete. The present application further relates to a concrete composition, a method of producing an electrically conductive concrete composition, an electrically conductive cured concrete form, and a system for heating pavement.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20210024418
    Abstract: The present application relates to an electrically conductive asphalt mastic (ECAM) composition that includes an asphalt binder, a mineral filler, and a plurality of conductive carbon microfibers, between 3 and 12 mm in length, which are the sole source of electrical conductivity in the ECAM composition where the conductive carbon microfibers and the mineral filler are dispersed in the asphalt binder, and wherein said conductive carbon microfibers are present in the ECAM composition in an amount of less than 2.00% of total volume of the ECAM composition. The application further relates to an electrically conductive asphalt concrete (ECAC) composition that includes an asphalt binder, a mineral filler, an aggregate, and a plurality of conductive carbon microfibers, where the conductive carbon microfibers are the sole source of electrical conductivity in the electrically conductive asphalt concrete composition.
