Abstract:
1. A method for making a heater, the method comprising: N1: providing a support and stretching a flexible substrate along a first direction and fixing the flexible substrate on a surface of the support; N2: coating an adhesive layer on a surface of the flexible substrate; N3: drawing a carbon nanotube film from a carbon nanotube array, and attaching one end of the carbon nanotube film on the flexible substrate via the adhesive layer; N4: wrapping the carbon nanotube film around the support by rotating the support to form a carbon nanotube structure around the flexible substrate and the adhesive layer; N5: separating the flexible substrate from the support, wherein the flexible substrate shrinks along the first direction, wherein the carbon nanotube structure comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes aligned in the first direction; N6: electrically connecting at least two electrodes on a surface of the carbon nanotube structure; and N7: applying a voltage between the at least two electrodes to heat the carbon nanotube structure, wherein the carbon nanotube structure heats and solidifies the adhesive layer.
