Flexible and controllable self-regulating heating devices have a great potential for use in applications such as healthcare devices, soft robotics, artificial skins and wearable electronics. Conventional self-regulating heating devices are often limited by the rigid nature of the polymer matrices, particularly at high conductive filler concentrations.
Spark Plasma Sintering has become a routine method for the densification of thermoelectric (TE) materials. However, the impacts and details of direct Joule heating within TE materials have not been fully quantified and clarified. Here we investigated the feasibility of flash-sintering (high heating rate Joule heating) magnesium silicide stannide (MSS) using a Spark Plasma Sintering furnace. A Mg2.1Si0.487Sn0.5Sb0.013 (MSS) green compact was sandwiched between two graphite punches without a die.
