Dublin, July 25, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene and 2D Materials Global Opportunity Report " report to their offering. This is a golden era for nanostructured carbon materials research. Graphitic carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene are the strongest, lightest and most conductive fibres known to man, with a performance-per-weight greater than any other material. In direct competition in a number of markets, they are complementary in others. Once the most promising of all nanomaterials, CNTs face stiff competition in conductive applications from graphene and other 2D materials and in mechanically enhanced composites from nanocellulose. However, after considerable research efforts, numerous multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)-enhanced products are commercially available. Super-aligned CNT arrays, films and yarns have found applications in consumer electronics, batteries, polymer composites, aerospace, sensors, heaters, filters and biomedicine. Large-scale industrial production of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been initiated, promising new market opportunities in transparent conductive films, transistors, sensors and memory devices. SWNTs are regarded as one of the most promising candidates to utilized as building blocks in next generation electronics. Two-dimensional(2D) materials are currently one of the most active areas of nanomaterials research, and offer a huge opportunity for both fundamental studies and practical applications, including superfast, low-power, flexible and wearable electronics, sensors, photonics and electrochemical energy storage devices that will have an immense impact on our society. Carbon nanotubes, graphene and 2D materials exhibit a unique combination of mechanical, thermal, electronic and optical properties that provide opportunities for new innovation in:
- Electronics & photonics
- Energy
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Biomedicine and healthcare
- Polymer composites
- Filtration
- Sensors
