Research and Markets: How and When will Nanotubes Impact the Composite Materials Sector?

Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c22803) has announced the addition of Nanotubes for the Composites Market to their offering

This is the most comprehensive global study ever undertaken of the market and technology impact of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for the composite materials sector.

The report details both the performance improvements that nanotubes will have and are already beginning to demonstrate, as well as pricing and production dynamics over the next five years. For the first time, this information enables rational, informed decisions to be made on the commercial viability and impact of nanotubes on the composite materials market.

The new report separates the hype from the reality and answers key questions such as:

- What composite materials will make use of carbon nanotubes, and when?
- What market share will carbon nanotubes gain from carbon fiber, when, and for which applications?
- When will carbon nanotubes deliver the much needed price drops to compete with carbon black?
- There is no shortage of CNT suppliers, so why are nanotubes so expensive, and when will the price come down?

This 140 page report presents detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of the current and emerging applications of carbon nanotubes in composite materials. It offers in depth analysis of global CNT prices and trends, production volumes and capacity now and over the next five years.

Key data includes:

- Composites market analysis and prospects, 2005-2010
- Future successes and failures of CNTs in the composites sector
- CNT price, capacity and actual production volumes 2005-2010
- Extensive list of global SWNT, MWNT and nanofiber suppliers

Who should read this report and why?

- Any company using or producing of composite materials
- Suppliers of carbon fiber and carbon black
- CNT suppliers – learn where the key opportunities are for nanotubes in the composites sector, and where the demands and barriers are for successful market entry.
- Anyone interested in the Composites Industry and/or Nanotechnologies.
