Abstract:
1. A de-icing/anti-icing system, comprising: at least two conductive structures embedded in an article, which includes an outer surface being designed as an aerodynamic surface, wherein at least one of the conductive structures is arranged adjacent the outer surface, and a control unit adapted to control the energy supply to the conductive structures for generating heat to the outer surface, wherein a first of the conductive structures comprises a first conductive nano structure and a second of the conductive structures comprises a second conductive nano structure, wherein a conductive property of the first of the conductive structures differs from a conductive property of the second of the conductive structures, wherein the first conductive nano structure serves as a heating conductor and the second conductive nano structure serves as a heating element, and wherein the first and second conductive nano structures are embedded in a common plane of a resin layer forming the outer surface.
