Industrial Adoption of Carbon Nanotubes
Abstract
Over the past 30 years, carbon nanotubes have emerged as one of the most exciting classes of nanomaterials due to their unique physicochemical properties. While challenges in nanotube synthesis and processing initially hindered their adoption, many of these barriers have since been addressed by research and manufacturing advances, resulting in substantial industrial application of nanotubes across multiple sectors. However, much of this progress is not known in the academic community. This perspective discusses the current landscape and outlook of industrial integration of carbon nanotubes and key factors mediating widespread integration across all major material-related areas of human activity.
