Abstract
A method for making a heater is provided. A support and a flexible substrate are provided. The flexible substrate is stretched along a first direction and is fixed on a surface of the support. An adhesive layer is coated on a surface of the flexible substrate. One end of a carbon nanotube film is attached on the flexible substrate via the adhesive layer. The carbon nanotube film is wrapped around the support by whirling the support to form a carbon nanotube structure. The flexible substrate is separated from the support and shrinks along the first direction. At least two electrodes are electrically connected with the carbon nanotube structure. A voltage is applied between the at least two electrodes to heat the carbon nanotube structure. The carbon nanotube structure heats and solidifies the adhesive layer.
