Abstract

The Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches sur les Matériaux (CEREM: Materials Research Centre) of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) devel ops, as part of its research result valorization assignment, specific products making use of electronic conductive polymers. The low temperature radiant heating panels for accommodation have been studied together with the Centre Scientifique et Tech nique du Bâtiment (CSTB: Building Scientific and Technical Centre). The heating el ements are produced from textiles made electrically conductive from polypyrrole deposit. The synthesis conditions have been optimized, a process for making the electrical connections has been proposed, and the evolution in time of the perfor mances of these heating elements has been studied for a period of time greater than 500 days and compared to the previously established predictive models. Finally, tech nical solutions aiming at increasing stability in time of these elements have been pro vided and evaluated.
