Carbon nanotubes offer unique properties, which are leading to intriguing opportunities. One potential market is automotive, where carbon nanotubes are particularly ideal for Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems.
LiDAR systems are key to autonomous driving, as they detect objects and measure distances and then provide 3D mapping. If the LiDAR system is blocked by wintry conditions or fog, the 3D mapping loses accuracy.
At CES 2023, Canatu and Covestro demonstrated their joint LiDAR heater system, bringing together expertise in flexible transparent film heaters, thermoplastic polymers and film insert molding processing, at the Canatu booth. The LiDAR cover lens offers heating capabilities, which deice the lens.
“By combining Covestro’s highly developed expertise in optical-grade polymers with Canatu’s unique CNT film heater technology, we have jointly developed a functionalized LIDAR cover lens com
