Abstract
An infrared radiation and heating element and heat transfer and radiation element includes a nanocomposite configured to emit infrared radiation and absorb and emit thermal radiation. The heating element can include a panel, layer or an object, and a nanocomposite covering at least a part of a surface of the panel, layer or object. The heating element can include a power transmitting element configured to provide power to the nanocomposite from a power source. The nanocomposite can be configured to release desired infrared radiation as a result of the provided power. The heating element can include a back layer extending over the nanocomposite such that the nanocomposite is positioned between the front side and the back side. The back layer can be configured to direct infrared radiation released from the nanocomposite in a first direction. The nanocomposite can be incorporated in liquid to allow efficient heat transfer.
