Electrically conductive materials for heating and deicing airfoils

The composite airfoils of the present disclosure comprise a root section that includes a first surface. The airfoils comprise an intermediate section that has a first surface and is coupled with the root section at a first end. The airfoils comprise a tip section that has a first surface and is coupled at a first end to a second end of the intermediate section. The aerodynamic surfaces comprise a layer of conductive material adjacent to at least one of the first surface of the root section, the first surface of the intermediate section and the first surface of the tip section. The conductive material comprises a first polymer, a second polymer and a sulfonic acid. (Automatic translation with Google Translate, without legal value)
