Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes

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.

2D materials are going to be much more versatile and useful and that particularly means beyond graphene.

Surface irritant is a medical term describing materials that can cause directly and indirectly various pathologies. They are physical toxins and the ones of concern are mainly small structures.

Graphene Noble Prize went to the Europeans, but will the commercial fruits primarily go to Asians, particularly the Chinese? In this article we demonstrate, based on our recent visits, how China is gearing up to run the show.

Imagine Intelligent Materials use graphene to create smart materials which sense and report real-time changes in stress, temperature and moisture.

Raghu Das introduced the technologies covered and an introduction to the IDTechEx Show! USA 2017

Raghu Das, CEO and Chris Clare, Event Director, IDTechEx tells you what to expect at the upcoming IDTechEx Show! held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, November 15-16 2017.

Strong positive feedback and growth at Europe's most important event on emerging technologies

I have just recently returned from the Graphene 2017 conference in Barcelona where I gave an invited talk. There is tremendous scientific progress, both on CVD and platelet type graphene, and across many graphene applications. Interestingly, the participants however repeatedly suggested that the industry has now passed the peak of hype and is well into the disillusionment period.

IDTechEx recently attended the Mobile World Congress and visited the graphene flagship booth, which consisted of a number of graphene companies highlighting their latest work. Here are some of the highlights.
