ABSTRACT:
A polymer matrix type heater filled with a conductive particulate moiety is disclosed wherein the preferable polymer is a polyurethane shape-memory polymer and the preferable filler is spherical thermal carbon black particles. Optional insulating fillers may be added to adjust the thermal and electrical properties of the heater. The resulting self-regulating heater has fast heat-up, sharp turnoff, and negligible temperature fluctuation.
