Is this a natural part of the commercial journey, or has hype overcome reality? Is this a case of "build it, they will come", or are there real market needs? What does the future hold for these graphene manufacturers? IDTechEx provides an independent perspective on these questions and more.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/graphene-supply-outstrips-demand/27625?rsst2id=87https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/graphene-supply-outstrips-demand/27625?rsst2id=87Thu, 08 Sep 2022 ZZZr.collins@IDTechEx.com (Dr Richard Collins) The revolutionary promise of nanocarbons has been touted for more than 3 decades, but despite the extraordinary properties and commercial hype, the success has been limited - until now. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may not be as glamorous as their younger sibling graphene, but IDTechEx forecast the annual demand to exceed 70 ktpa by 2032 as for the first time the manufacturers experience a mass-market pull rather than a material push.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/finally-the-first-mass-market-adoption-of-a-nanocarbon/26222?rsst2id=87https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/finally-the-first-mass-market-adoption-of-a-nanocarbon/26222?rsst2id=87Thu, 17 Mar 2022 ZZZr.collins@IDTechEx.com (Dr Richard Collins) IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Thursday 13 September titled Graphene and Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Commercialization: Past, Present and Future.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/webinar-13-september-graphene-and-carbon-nanotube-commercialization/15314?rsst2id=87https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/webinar-13-september-graphene-and-carbon-nanotube-commercialization/15314?rsst2id=87Fri, 07 Sep 2018 ZZZa.garrington@idtechex.com (Annick Garrington) CNTs have been making a quiet comeback and have now indeed entered a phase of volume growth, as analysed in the new IDTechEx report Graphene, 2D Materials and Carbon Nanotubes: Markets, Technologies and Opportunities 2018-2028.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/carbon-nanotube-cnt-commercialization-past-present-and-future/14212?rsst2id=87https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/carbon-nanotube-cnt-commercialization-past-present-and-future/14212?rsst2id=87Wed, 02 May 2018 ZZZKhasha@IDTechEx.com (Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh)
