Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Global Market for Graphene and 2-D Materials"report to their offering.
The Graphene Industry is gathering pace. A number of start-ups have recently received multi-million dollar funding and graphite producers are announcing plans to start multi-ton production. Graphene exhibits a unique combination of mechanical, thermal, electronic and optical properties that provide opportunities for new innovation in the following areas:
- Flexible displays
- Transistors
- Photosensors
- RFID tags
- Solar cells
- Secondary batteries
- Fuel cells
- Supercapacitors
- Conductive inks
- EMI shielding heat insulation
- Anti-oxidation
- LEDs etc.
Across multiple industries including consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, medicine, energy, 3D printing, polymer composites, wireless technology, filtration and coatings. Graphene possesses (theoretically) record high electrical and thermal conductivity, transparency at all wavelengths, flexibility and outstanding mechanical strength. There are now over 150 companies either producing graphene or developing applications, with mamy multi-national companies conducting R&D on these materials.
