Abstract
Flexible foam resistive heaters are prepared by coating a foam or fabric with an electrically conductive layer, and connecting electrodes to the coated foam or fabric, forming flexible lead (busbar) connections with low contact resistance for superior uniformity and lower power utilization than conventional technology. The coated foam or fabric may optionally be infused with other compositions, such as a fragrance, drug, prodrug, or insecticide, leading to many types of applications for the resistive heater.
