AgeNT™ VC102

By Chasm Technologies, Inc.

AgeNT™ VC102 is a solvent-based Carbon Nanotube transparent conductive ink designed for screen printing on a wide range of plastic films. VC102 balances value, printing consistency, simplicity of patterning and environmental stability. Specially formulated from CHASM's patented V2V™ ink vehicle and industry leading single wall CNTs, VC102 delivers printable, flexible transparent conductors with superior environmental robustness and optical performance than commercial alternatives such as PEDOT. VC102 is well-suited for cost-effective transparent circuit production at high volumes for touch buttons and sensors used in many applications including appliances, automotive interiors, and industrial controls. Developed in direct response to repeated feedback from printed electronics manufacturers, VC102 balances value, printing consistency, simplicity of patterning and environmental stability. VC102 is well suited to high volume transparent FPC applications. Suitable for harsh environment applications, VC102 successfully completed 1,000 hours of environmental testing at 65°C / 85% RH, exhibited minimal variation in resistance while transparency, haze and color remained very stable. Product Structure VC102 has three main components: 1. Best-in-class CNTs produced at CHASM 2. Acrylic binder to promote adhesion 3. Proprietary V2V™ (viscous-to-vapor) Ink Vehicle Product Benefits - Typical optoelectronic values: 800 – 1,000 ohm/sq at 85% VLT - Neutral color – does not impart clue color cast to transparent circuits - Low temperature drying (110°C) - Screen printable on a variety of flexible substrates - Low processing cost (< 3 min residence time) - Excellent adhesion to various substrates - Solvent base, containing no surfactants How VC102 Works CHASM VC Series Inks are designed for screen-printing. The CNT ink starts off viscous, shear thins during the printing operation to flow through the screen mesh and then quickly rebuilds its viscosity to avoid ink bleed enabling 100μm lines/spaces.

AgeNT Transparent Heater Foils for ADAS Sensors

CHASM's AgeNT transparent heater foil solutions advance autonomous driving in any weather by enabling rapid and uniform heating for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) sensors and headlamps. The ADAS system relies on crucial components such as camera, lidar and radar sensors. However inclement weather conditions such as snow, fog and ice can hinder the operation of these sensors, compromising safety.

Operating LED headlights in harsh environments (like winter weather) can lead to issues with fogging or freezing. This is a huge issue from a visibility standpoint and from a safety standpoint where modern safety features rely on the ability to "see" through the car's headlights.

NTeC

NTeC is revolutionizing one particle after another to dramatic effect. Enhancing Particles at the Nanoscale. Integral to the Material, Not an Additive. While the performance benefits that can be obtained nanotechnology are widely known, cost and usability issues have impeded widespread adoption - until now. Whether the goal is improving charge capacity for batteries or seeking a way to improve the strength and durability of concrete or composites, CHASM™ has a better way. Our carbon nanotube and carbon nanotube hybrid products are developed through industry partnerships for specific applications, like batteries and construction materials (cement and concrete). NTeC for Battery Materials: The next generation of mobile devices, vehicles and renewable energy storage systems will require material solutions that are more capable and more versatile. NTeC improves the power density, cycle life and charge/discharge capacity of battery materials. NTeC for Cement: Cement is critical to modern world concrete infrastructure. However, it can crack, split and become vulnerable in certain conditions. It is also the source of about 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. NTeC dually addresses these concerns by drastically increasing cement strength and measurably reducing the carbon footprint.
