ABSTRACT
This paper investigates the possibility of realizing ice sensors based on the electrical response of thin strips made from pressed graphene nano-platelets. The novelty of this work resides in the use of the same graphene strips that can act as heating elements via the Joule effect, thus opening the route for a combined device able to both detect and remove ice. A planar capacitive sensor is designed and fabricated, in which the graphene strip acts as one of the armatures. The sensing principle is based on the high sensitivity of the planar capacitor to the change in electrical permittivity in the presence of ice, as shown in the experimental case study discussed here, can also be interpreted by means of a simple circuit and electromagnetic model. The properties of the sensor are analyzed, and the frequency range for its use as an ice detector has been established.
