Self-regulating heater including a polymeric semiconductor substrate containing porous conductive lampblack
First Claim
1. Self-controlled heater of a rearview mirror of a vehicle comprising:
- a semiconductor polymer substrate consisting essentially of 60% low density polyethylene, 8.5% ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, 20% conductive lampblack having a porous structure;
4.0% of a spreading agent consisting of calcium stearate;
3.0% of an antioxidant; and
0.5% of a coupling agent consisting of calcium titanate, with a high degree of shearing and a low degree of orientation for lampblack aggregations,a silver ink conductor track (3) printed on said substrate, said conductor track including negative and positive poles (8,9) having interpenetrating adjacent branches (8,9) spaced at intervals (10) from each other so as to provide a sufficient amount of heat to the rearview mirror for defogging and defrosting the rearview mirror; and
two terminals (5) on said substrate, one of said two terminals (5) being connected to said negative pole and another of said two terminals (5) being connected to said positive pole.
