At CES 2023, Meta Materials will be exhibiting its Nanoweb transparent EMI shielding film, which offers an optimal combination of transparency and conductivity. In addition to EMI shielding, Meta will also be demonstrating a range of applications:

Nanoweb heaters for deicing/defogging of ADAS sensors (cameras, radar, LiDAR)
Nanoweb antennas and electrochromic lenses for AR eyewear
Nanoweb 5G reflector films for managing outdoor and indoor signal propagation

In addition, Meta is developing two new battery materials to improve performance, safety and sustainability for Li-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and other applications. NPORE nanocomposite ceramic separators have <1% heat shrinkage to help prevent battery fires. Metal/polymer composite current collectors made with the company’s PLASMAfusion technology reduce weight by 80% compared to solid copper foil, extending vehicle range. The devices act as a fuse to inhibit thermal runaway and improve sustainability by reducing copper content. Meta’s materials are compatible with all Li-ion battery formats and chemistries.

Meta’s booth will be located at the Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall, #9417, January 5-8, 2023.
