Popis: Light-weight composite materials with multifunction are widely used on aircrafts, antennas and wind turbines. Its anti-icing/de-icing is still a great challenge due to its poor heat transmission and low heat resistance. To address these issues, a novel electrothermal sandwich composite (NESC) was prepared by hot pressing an electrothermal film into load-bearing composite materials. By optimizing the ingredient of boron nitride nanoparticle, the heat diffusion rate was improved by 86 %, saving ∼14 % of energy consumption for complete anti-icing in dynamic icing conditions compared to samples without thermal conductivity enhancement. Furthermore, high electromagnetic transmittance up to 80 % of NESC was ensured through electromagnetic design. Besides the high-efficient and electromagnetic compatible anti-icing performance, NESC also performs high resistance to acid/alkali, abrasion and impact, good heating uniformity, stable photothermal effect, and potential of large-area manufacture. This paper presents a promising solution for durable, multi-functional, compatible, and energy-saving composites for anti-icing and de-icing.
