The Graphene Hype
Gartner 2013
Public Perception of Graphene • “Your Water Will Taste Awesome” • “Your Shirt Will Charge your Laptop” • “Your Internet Connection Will Be One Million Times Faster” • “It Will Turn Computers Into Transformers”
• Founded in 2007 by Drs. • “Top-Down” Bor Jang and Aruna Manufacturing Approach Zhamu • Chemical and Mechanical – Sister company of Exfoliation Nanotek Instruments
• Mission: To mass produce graphene at commercial prices

Conductive coatings
Oxygen barrier
Protective coatings global market: $1.13 billion with 3.4% CAGR(ORNL) Global conductive coatings market 2012: $9 billion , 2019 :$19 billion (Nanomarkets) Global de-icing coatings market 2011: $500 million (BioAmber) Global market for transparent barrier films 2012: $6.7 billion, 2017: $8.2 billion (Smithers PIRA)
Once again, this is a large potential market with a strong value proposition.
Graphene Nanocomposites Wind turbine
This is a very diverse market and the roll-out of graphene products will be based on the final application
Tires Mobile
CableNotebook
Graphene/Polymer masterbatches are already commercially available Scale-Up manufacturing currently underway Different requirements and applications will determine market timing The nanocomposites will take advantage of one or more of graphene’s properties Electrical and Thermal conductivity Mechanical Enhancements Barrier Properties
Graphene for Energy Storage • Very strong market desire • HOWEVER, not necessarily “Plug and Play” • Requires extensive, fundamental research • Different applications have different qualification cycles
Thin film solar cells
Fuel cells
Supercapacitors
Graphene based energy storage still may be a few years out…. But it is coming
Market Acceptance Forecast ITO Replacement Thermal Management
EMI Materials Polymer Nanocomposites
Applications
