▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - The element has a resistive heater comprising conduction terminals coupled to a voltage generator to cause a current flux through the resistive heater. The resistive heater comprises multiple conductive paths of partially reduced graphene oxide (20) and partially oxidized graphene, extends between the conductive paths, and electrically coupled to the conduction terminals. The conductive paths generate heat by Joule effect for carrying out defrosting operation of a region of the element when the current flux passes through the conductive paths. USE - Structural element for use in a transport device e.g. aircraft, helicopter, unmanned aerial vehicle, terrestrial vehicle and naval vessel (all claimed). ADVANTAGE - The element ensures the conductive paths to locally increase temperature of the region up to 0-2 degree Celsius during landing or take-off maneuvring conditions of moving parts of an aircraft when the environmental temperature at the region is within a range of from -20 to 0 degree Celsius so as to avoid freezing risk of the region. The element utilizes a graphene oxide layer to be partially reduced at selected portions of the graphene oxide layer to confer lightness, strength, flexibility and reliability characteristics to a defrosting layer with controlled electrical and thermal conductivity. The element improves aeronautical structures in terms of weight, size and performance, thus reducing direct and indirect costs of the element. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The element is made of a composite material. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following: (1) a method for manufacturing a structural element of a transport device (2) a method for operating a structural element. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows an exploded perspective view of a structural component of a resistive heater and a housing.
