Ultrablack coating combining carbon black and carbon nanotubes developed for automotive applications
By
Ana Georgescu
Summary
This article discusses the development of an ultrablack coating that combines carbon black and carbon nanotubes for automotive and other applications. Inspired by science fiction (Douglas Adams's description of a black spaceship), the coating is designed to absorb nearly all light, creating an extremely dark finish. The technology has potential uses in automotive design, aerospace, and other industries where light absorption or aesthetic blackness is desired.
