• Integration of a heating function into a classical wooden material (e.g. plywood)
• Development of an innovative functional bonding agent layer that is electrically conductive as a result of additives
• Specification of the thermal properties to achieve optimal stability of form of the composite material and use as lowtemperature heating system

• Definition of a guide formulation of the electrically conductive bonding agent layer and the reproducible manufacture of the latter
• Specification of the thermal properties of the composite material in view of the subsequent use as low-temperature heating system
• Testing of the dimensional stability of the multi-layer composite laminated wood with regard to continuous alternating stress
• Provision of the proof of functionality
