In this article, IDTechEx will describe the status of the commercialization of graphene and carbon nanotubes.

Supercapacitor materials are rapidly improving by new routes. The active materials are the dominant part of cost and the cause of limitations such as flammability, toxicity, cost, energy density and self- discharge. Currently the active electrodes almost always consist of bulk "hierarchical" carbon with a range of pore sizes, often made the old way from botanical materials.

In any emerging technology, the pace of innovation is rapid, sometimes dauntingly so. Patent Analytics is a service that IDTechEx provides utilising our long-standing expertise in a range of emerging technologies to provide clients of our services the answers they need.

The Voltera V-One is a PCB Printer for early circuit board prototyping and PE experimentation.

Conductive inks are a wonderfully adaptive technology. This characteristic has enabled them to stay relevant and to rejuvenate themselves over the past several decades. This is because as old markets have struggled or declined the technology has managed to find and/or create new uses. Several years ago, a new frontier called in-mold electronics (or IME) started to emerge. This frontier, as reported in the IDTechEx Research report Conductive Ink Markets 2018-2028: Forecasts, Technologies, Players, is once again becoming commercial.

2018 has been the year of major new announcements at Stratasys. Not only have they announced that they are developing two new technologies, but they are doing so through the launch of two start-ups and are venturing into the lucrative metal 3D printing ecosystem in the process

In the recently published IDTechEx market report titled Fiber Lasers 2018-2028: Technologies, Opportunities, Markets & Forecasts, Dr Nilushi Wijeyasinghe explores how recent fiber laser technology developments affect the growth of key market segments.

In this premium article we will discuss the key technological and business trends shaping the dynamics of existing and emerging applications areas. This will be useful article for anyone interested in the conductive ink business

3D printing of composite parts, specifically fiber reinforced polymers, is a rapidly emerging field. Arevo have created the world's first true 3D-printed carbon fiber bicycle.

The Battery Show is one of the largest events around the world on energy storage for electric vehicles, which is held annually in Novi, MI.

A major frontier in the conductive ink business is conformal coating on 3D-shaped objects. For the purposes of this article, we will divide this into two categories: aerosol-deposited 3D-shaped antennas and conformal on-chip EMI shielding.

The previous article looked at material opportunities for thermal management and this article looks at the additional componentry.

The Battery Show is one of the largest events around the world on energy storage for electric vehicles, which is held annually in Novi, MI.

This two-part series will look at some of the materials opportunities emerging in electric vehicle for both batteries and other componentry. This information will be taking highlights from two recent trade shows: Foam Expo (Novi, USA) and The Battery Show co-located with Electric and hybrid vehicle technology expo.

Poor air quality is a growing threat to the public health. It has caused more deaths annually than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. Recent data from UK government shows that air pollution diseases cost the NHS £20 billion a year. The problem of air pollution is becoming a growing concern for the public.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Tuesday 5 June titled Transparent conductive films and materials: Major trends shaping the industry's past, present and future.

Born out of the research labs of TU Delft with over 20 years of experience in the synthesis of aerosols, the VSP-G1 nanoparticle generator provides researchers with the possibility to perform ground-breaking research within the field of nanomaterials without the limitations of common generation methods and materials.

A recent independent study by Imperial College London has evaluated the potential for new gravity-fed energy storage within the UK energy system. With tens of thousands of vertical mine shafts in the UK alone (UK Coal Authority), the potential initial market is sizeable.

This article provides an overview of graphene, 2D materials and CNTs.

In this article we will review the latest progress in graphene commercialization and will provide our insights and forecasts about the medium- as well as the long-term future of this industry. This analysis is drawn from our recently updated report Graphene, 2D Materials and Carbon Nanotubes: Markets, Technologies and Opportunities 2018-2028. This long-standing and comprehensive report covers graphene, carbon nanotubes and non-graphene 2D materials.
