Problem
Many electronic devices and systems, particularly in automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors, require components that can withstand harsh environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, icing, and electromagnetic interference. Traditional materials often lack the necessary performance characteristics, such as transparency, flexibility, and efficient heating or shielding capabilities, to ensure optimal functionality and safety in these demanding applications. Additionally, the cement industry is a major contributor to global carbon emissions, necessitating new materials for low-carbon concrete production.
Solution
CHASM develops and manufactures advanced materials based on carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid technology, providing solutions for transparent heating, EMI/RF shielding, battery performance enhancement, and low-carbon cement. Their AgeNT transparent heater films utilize a combination of CNTs and metal micromesh to deliver rapid and uniform heating for applications such as ADAS sensors and headlamps, ensuring reliable operation in adverse weather. NTeC, their nanotube hybrid material for concrete, boosts mechanical properties and enables the production of low-carbon cement, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. CHASM's materials are designed for scalable, low-cost mass production, offering a versatile platform for improving the performance, reliability, and sustainability of various products across multiple industries.
