Abstract
Hybrid practices are emerging that integrate creative material elements such as paint, clay, and cloth with intangible immaterials like computation, electricity, and heat...We explore electric heat within the space of Thermoreactive Composites (TrC), a class of objects composed of a thermoreactive material and a heat-generating element. We develop a maker-friendly fabrication pipeline and design tool that allows users to compose electric heat spatially and temporally using printed silver-ink joule heaters for a range of thermoreactive materials.
