Global Market and Applications for Carbon Nanotubes and Fullerenes is a 125 page report providing a comprehensive market assessment of industrial applications for carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. These nanomaterials provide exceptional properties that are currently being incorporated into products ranging from sporting goods to new batteries to pharmaceuticals.
The significant interest in the production, research and development of these nanomaterials stems from the unique chemical, mechanical, and physical properties inherent in these materials. These desired properties include high tensile strength, high electric and thermal conductivity, lightweight, high surface area per gram, advantages in hydrogen storing and catalyzing, absorbency, and flexibility. The tensile strength of single-walled nanotubes is 100 times greater than that of steel, at only one sixth of steel weight. In terms of thermal conductivity, carbon nanotubes at 1,200-3,000 W/mK exceed that for diamonds at 700-2,000 W/mK.
Nanotubes and fullerenes already represent a significant niche market with global revenue exceeding US$300 million in 2008. Electronics and energy applications represent the next wave of potentially disruptive technologies that are beginning to impact the market. By 2015 it is predicted by nanoposts.com that the market will exceed US$4.6 billion.
This 125 page report provides a detailed in-depth assessment of:
- Key markets impacted including sporting goods, building and construction, healthcare, automotive, aerospace, energy and defence and electronics
- Market size for last 3 years and forecasted to 2013 by total revenues
- Production methods
