High-performance transparent conductive films<\/h2>\n
\n \n\n

Canatu CNT transparent conductive films constitute high-performance materials that can be used in automotive ADAS heater<\/a> and flexible touch applications<\/a> that require high electrical conductivity combined with high optical transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Canatu produces CNT transparent conductive films with the best industrially applicable sheet resistance to optical transparency ratio ever seen in CNT films with a sheet resistance of 35\u03a9\/sq at 90% transmittance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Unhindered optical performance<\/h3>\n

The Canatu CNT transparent conductive films have zero reflectance and haze, high transmittance, and excellent color neutrality.<\/p>\n

CNT films maintain low sheet resistance without compromising on its high levels of transparency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Extreme stretchability<\/h3>\n

Canatu CNT transparent conductive films have highly versatile mechanical capabilities with extreme stretchability (>200% depending on the substrate). With a less than 1mm bending radius, the film can be thermoformed into exaggerated 3D shapes, and in-molded for robustness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Industrializing CNT with DENSO<\/h2>\n

In 2021, Canatu signed a major Joint Development Agreement with leading mobility supplier, DENSO, to develop high-performance reactors used in CNT film production. This collaboration is aimed at tripling Canatu\u2019s current film manufacturing productivity. The agreement signifies a key milestone in Canatu and DENSO\u2019s long-standing business partnership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Read more<\/a>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Record-breaking transparent conductive film<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, Canatu more than doubled the performance<\/a> of its CNT transparent conductive films. The company’s multi-year research and development program has resulted in the best industrially applicable sheet resistance to optical transparency ratio ever produced in CNT films. As affirmed by CEO Juha Kokkonen<\/a>, \u201c[t]his is by far one of the greatest technical advancements in Canatu history\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Advances in the synthesis and scalable manufacturing are critical to mass adoption of CNTs. I [\u2026] am thrilled to see Canatu has made a new world record in commercial-scale manufactured CNT thin film transmittance and electrical conductivity\u201d<\/p>\nShigeo Maruyama, Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tokyo<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

These significant developments not only expand the potential applications of Canatu\u2019s CNT films, but also make the material more affordable for automotive ADAS heater and touch applications. Cost-efficiency is achieved through optimizing core factors affecting CNT network properties and performance, as well as eliminating contamination and defects in CNT structures.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
