PLANAR HEATING ELEMENT OBTAINED USING DISPERSION OF FINE CARBON FIBERS IN WATER AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE PLANAR HEATING ELEMENT

摘要

[Problems] To produce planar heating elements having high exothermic efficiency and provide energy-saving electric carpets, floor heating, wall surface heating appliances and heaters for thawing on roads and/or roofs or antifogging for mirrors. [Means for Solving] To provide a planar heating element produced by applying, to an insulating substrate or the like, an electrically conductive fine carbon fiber film that is fabricated using an aqueous dispersion of fine carbon fibers in which the fine carbon fibers are evenly dispersed in an aqueous solution.
