Beyond Graphene: Why Carbon Nanotubes Are the Most Commercially Impactful Nanomaterial of Our Time
Nanomaterials and the Future of Industry: Why Carbon Nanotubes Lead the Pack The 21st century is increasingly defined by the materials we engineer at the molecular and atomic scale. Nanomaterials substances with structures or properties that emerge specifically at the nanoscale are rewriting the rules of performance across virtually every industry. Among the diverse landscape of nanomaterials available today, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as the most commercially significant, underpinning a rapidly expanding Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) Market that is set to transform manufacturing, technology, and medicine worldwide. What Are Nanomaterials? Nanomaterials are defined as materials with at least one structural dimension measuring between 1 and 100 nanometres a scale at which quantum mechanical effects and dramatically increased surface-area-to-volume ratios produce properties fundamentally distinct from those of the same material in bulk form. This includes nanoparticles, n...
