[Prior Art] Electrothermal material refers to a material that can convert electrical energy into thermal energy by self-twisting resistance. Usually, the electrothermal material is made of metal (e.g., tungsten wire, molybdenum sheet, etc.) or 10 semiconductor (e.g., Shixi carbon rod, etc.). Since metals have good electrical conductance, the resistance is usually small, so high power and temperature can be produced. However, electrothermal materials composed of metals or semiconductors also have obvious disadvantages, such as the fact that these materials are not freely deformable at normal temperature; and the resistance is usually low, the power is too large, and the amount of heat is too high, which is not suitable for use in a normal temperature range. Metals have poor affinity for the human body, and even certain metals such as copper can be harmful to the human body. Therefore, these electrothermal materials are not suitable for use in a heat-insulating device that is in close contact with the human body, such as an electric blanket, a heating pad, and the like. Therefore, an electrothermal material in which a conductive particle such as a metal material 'graphite powder or the like is added to a base of a ruthenium molecular material is developed, and the electrothermal material has flexibility, and the electric resistance thereof can be relatively high, and can be used for low-temperature heating, but since it is suitable The electrical conductivity, in which the content of the conductive particles is required to be high, causes a decrease in the strength of the base material. It is necessary to provide a thermoelectric material which is flexible and freely deformable, has a mechanical strength of 1% and has high human affinity and can be used in a low temperature range. 20086 200800793 • [Description of the Invention] A meter of flexible electrothermal material, and a heating device comprising the nano flexible electrothermal material. • The nano-flexible electrocaloric material comprises a substrate and a plurality of carbon nanotubes dispersed in the substrate, the carbon nanotubes forming a conductive network in the substrate, the substrate being a flexible polymer material. Heating device comprising: a nano-flexible electrothermal material, two wires _ and a switch for connecting the nano-flexible electrothermal material to a power source, the switch being mounted on any one of the two wires, the switch The nano flexible electrothermal material comprises a substrate composed of a flexible polymer material and a plurality of carbon nanotubes dispersed in the substrate, the carbon nanotubes forming a conductive network in the substrate. Due to the adoption of the flexible polymer base material, the nano flexible electrothermal material y is bent at will and has good human affinity; according to the content of the carbon nanotubes, the electric resistance is adjustable, and when the carbon nanotube content is low, the electric resistance is low. Adjustable to a higher value, so that it is suitable for low temperature heating; and because the carbon nanotubes are added and form an electrically conductive network inside the flexible polymer substrate material, in addition to being used for electrical conduction, the nanometer is flexible The electric heating material can uniformly heat the whole material to improve the strength of the nano flexible electric heating material. [Embodiment] Referring to Fig. 1, a nano-flexible electrothermal material 1 of the first embodiment comprises a flexible polymer base material 10 and a plurality of carbon nanotubes 12 dispersed in a flexible polymer base material. The carbon nanotubes 12 are overlapped with each other to form a conductive network in the flexible polymer base material 10, so that the nanometer flexible electric heating material: can be electrically conductive, and can be heated after being energized. The flexible polymer base material 10 may be selected from the group consisting of a Lithium rubber elastomer: one of the two epoxy resins or a combination thereof. The carbon nanotubes 12 can be many: = tube or single wall tube. The length may be _micron, preferably two;; rib: the fractional content is 〇 1% to 4% of the entire electrothermal material. The content of nanocarbon is not the same. (4) The electrical resistivity of the electrothermal material is also different. 'Zhong Tai 2: 2 See Figure 2' which is the relationship between the resistivity and the resistivity of the nano-flexible electrothermal material 1. It can be seen that the electric heating material 1 does not have a weight with the weight of the carbon nanotubes, including the Jingjing + the white knife increases the resistivity under the ratio:: 0.4, the resistivity is approximately 1 〇 ohm meters (4) Second, when the temperature is less than 1%, the resistivity decreases rapidly, and then the yield decreases. When the carbon nanotube content reaches 4%, the electric a rate drops to a lower value: approximately 0.1 ohm·m (Ω· Πι). Various additives may be added to the material 2 flexible electrothermal material 1 to improve: chemical properties, antioxidants, and flame retardants. Antioxidant products: such as 虱 虱 二 二 二 二 萘 naphthyl-p-phenylenediamine. Flame retardant optional: paraffin, chlorinated alicyclic hydrocarbon, tetrachloro-o-dicarboxylic acid anhydride, phosphate ester, = dish acid ester, functionalized scale, phosphorus polyol and southern acid liver, etc. The nano flexible electrothermal material i of the present embodiment has the following characteristics: The shape is arbitrarily changed due to the use of a flexible molecular backing material, and the polymer material is more human-friendly than metal or semiconductor. Sex. As a result of the addition of the Nano Carbon official's mechanical flexibility, the strength of the 不易 to 'not easy to damage' and at the same time the appropriate thermal conductivity, can quickly transfer the heat generated by the inner 8 200800793. 3. The resistance can be adjusted within a certain range, and the entire surface of the electrothermal material is uniformly heated at the same time, and the temperature can be controlled at a low level, such as below. C, because the nano flexible electrothermal material of this embodiment does not cause damage due to overheating. The electrothermal material used to insulate the human body can be controlled to a lower temperature, for example between 361 and iron. For example, a piece of 3 〇χ 3 〇χ〇 still (10) of this nano-flexible electrothermal material, the carbon nanotube content of 2.5%, with a 36V electric source along the membrane surface conduction, the power consumption is less than i watts. Based on the above characteristics, the nanometer flexible electrothermal material i of the present embodiment can be applied to various fields of low temperature heating such as automobile electric heating seats, electric heating carpets, physiotherapy electric heating belts, slimming belts, and thermal insulation clothes. The nano flexible electrothermal material i of the present embodiment can be prepared by the following method: ~ Step 1, providing a uniformly dispersed prepolymer solution or prepolymer monomer / gluten solution. The prepolymer material is further polymerized to obtain a flexible polymeric substrate such as a ruthenium rubber elastomer, a polyurethane, an epoxy resin prepolymer: a monomer or a combination thereof. Taking polyurethane as an example, the prepolymer of polyurethane is dissolved and diluted with a solvent such as ethyl acetate to reduce its viscosity, and then ultrasonically washed for a while to obtain a uniformly dispersed polyurethane prepolymer solution. In step 2, a carbon nanotube was added to the above solution and dispersed by ultrasonic waves for a while. Wherein, the content of the carbon nanotubes is 〇1 to 4% by weight. The effect of ultrasonic dispersion is to enable the carbon nanotubes to be initially dispersed in the polyurethane prepolymer solution. The carbon nanotubes can be multi-walled carbon nanotubes or single-walled carbon nanotubes. The preparation method of the carbon nanotubes can be carried out by using the chemical vapor deposition method of the prior art 9 200800793, electric charge method, and laser burning. (4) Wait. Nano carbon tube 1~10 microns. In addition, since the carbon nanotubes are easy to aggregate and entangle, it can be further broken by a sonicator for a period of time, and the nano-carbons of the fresh (four) carbon are separated, and then dispersed by ultrasonic waves for a period of time. It can make the nano stone reverse tube dispersion more uniform. In step 3, an initiator is added to cause the prepolymer solution or the prepolymer monomer solution to react or crosslink to polymerize and solidify into a desired shape for practical use. The choice of initiator can vary from prepolymer material to deionized water. Proper ultrasonic cleaning is used for a period of time to collect the creamy substance formed in the solution to obtain a pre-processed composite. Preferably, the electrodes 311, 312 can be buried at both ends before curing, so that a nano-flexible electrothermal material as shown in Fig. 3 can be obtained, and the materials of the electrodes 311, 312 can be made of a metal having high conductivity such as copper or aluminum. Referring to FIG. 4, the electric heating device of the embodiment includes a nano-flexible electrothermal material 41, wires 421 and 422, and a switch 43. Two electrodes 411 and 412 are buried at both ends of the nano-flexible electrothermal material 41, and wires 421 and 422 are respectively used for The electrodes 411, 412 are connected to the power source 44. The switch 43 can be disposed on any of the wires 421 and 422.
