First Sign of Consolidation Seen Among Graphene Manufacturers

The past decade has seen an ever-increasing number of companies within the graphene market, with a seemingly constant stream of new material suppliers appearing. As is the case for any well-established industry, market stability and profitability are expected to go hand in hand with the emergence of a handful of dominant players within the material supply chain.

Carbon Nanotubes: Is Bigger Better?

Nanomaterials remain a significant growth area with the potential to enable a wide range of next-generation technologies. This article will focus on CNT yarns and sheets before expanding on to high-aspect-ratio and hybrid materials; these are all at an earlier commercial stage than the main MWCNT market.

The Rise of the Carbon Nanotube Battery

It is impossible to avoid headlines about the "graphene battery"; the concept of this Nobel Prize winning nanomaterial revolutionizing the energy storage market is naturally very enticing, but it is graphene's older sibling carbon nanotubes that have progressed beyond the hype and disillusionment phases of their commercial journey by finding a value-add high volume energy storage adoption.

Finally, the First Mass Market Adoption of a Nanocarbon

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.

CHASM Advanced Materials

CHASM Advanced Materials is a company that specializes in nanotube hybrid products. IDTechEx has previously covered CHASM's work in printed electronics and recently spoke with Dr Hari Harikumar (GM - New Ventures) and Ken Klapproth (Chief Marketing Officer) about their progression in other application areas.

CHASM Advanced Materials Closes $15 Million in Series C Funding

CHASM Advanced Materials Inc announced the completion of a $15 million Series C financing round led by WAVE Equity Partners. The funds will be used to accelerate commercial penetration of CHASM's AgeNT™ products for transparent printed electronics, NTeC™ products for energy storage and a broad range of composites applications, and to launch CHASM-H2O™ - a new category of membranes targeted at disrupting water treatment to address the world's water scarcity problem.

Chasm Advanced Materials

Chasm Advanced Materials is produces carbon nanotubes that are used in both transparent conductive films and as additives to enhance electrical and/or thermal properties. IDTechEx caught up with marketing director Ken Klapproth to find out more about the latest developments, especially a new film targeted at transparent antennas.

The graphene community gathers in California

The graphene community will gather in California on November 14 & 15 to attend the largest business-focused conference and exhibition on Graphene and 2D Materials which takes place in Santa Clara.

Sensors are the stars of the IDTechEx Show!

Sensors conference features the latest technologies for Healthcare, Wearables, IoT, and Mobile devices.

Future prospects of graphene applications

IDTechEx has invited a series of industrial players and leaders active in graphene commercialization to contribute their opinions about the state of the technology and markets. As part of the article series, we will today hear from Birla Carbon who writes about the progress of graphene in various industries.
