The project aims at launching market transforming conductive polymer composites, characterised by tuneable positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistance profiles, electrically connected by standard terminals, for use in self-regulating large surface area, flexible heating devices. In particular, industrial applications in potentially explosive environments governed by the strict safety standards applying to the EU ATEX Directive (94/9/EC) and its derived IECEx international equivalents.
