A novel method for fabricating flexible and waterproof heating membranes was presented in this study, nano-SiC/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) hybrid membranes has been successfully prepared by pouring modified nano-SiC/TPU solution into a mold with 0.05 mm silver filaments. Nano-SiC particles were modified using silane coupling agent, subsequently, were dispersed evenly in the solvent, average diameter of nano-SiC particles could reach 180.4 nm. Fourier Transform Infrared spectra showed organo-functional groups were grafted on surface of nano-SiC by covalent bond. TPU membrane with 10 wt % nano-SiC had the highest decomposition temperature, and maximum stress. Thermal conductivity and the surface equilibrium temperature under the same loaded voltage of membranes ascended with increasing of nano-SiC content. Flexible, waterproof nano-SiC/TPU heating membranes have wide application prospect in active warming garments and other fields required flexible heating elements.
