In the ensuing years, the carbon nanotubes industry shall benefit from the rising deployment of nanotubes for facilitating technological advances in numerous fields, including engineering, electronics, medicine, to name a few. But, with the surging environmental, health and safety concerns, the market demand can take a slight hit in the following years.

With that said, multi-walled carbon nanotubes are enjoying considerable demand in the carbon nanotubes market growth, which can be a great opportunity for the players in the future. These types of carbon nanotubes are being used extensively in anti-static plastic parts, and battery additives etc. moreover, the surging demand and use of storage and electronic devices could be another major opportunity for the carbon nanotubes developers in subsequent years.

MRFR experts note various trends in the worldwide carbon nanotubes market, one of them being the huge demand for different composites materials in numerous applications including bulletproof jackets and sporting goods. Carbon nanotubes are increasingly being used in these applications as these help bolster the strength as well as mechanical properties of the finished market goods. These end products are stiffer, stronger, and lighter, following the processes that provide high-quality finishing.Rice University material scientists have released a novel hypothesis for producing batches of carbon nanotubes with a specific, desired chirality. Their approach might make it easier to purify semiconductors or all-metal nanotubes. These CNTs are used today to innovate on a never-before-seen scale in various industries, including optics, water purification, electronics, and biosciences. CNTs are difficult to grow, despite how great they sound. They frequently have both single and multiple walls and different chiralities. The scientists have demonstrated a fresh method for producing a batch of uniform carbon nanotubes. Different chiralities of carbon nanotubes develop at various rates. As a result, slower-growing tubes can be identified and eventually removed.

February 2022

A first-of-its-kind project is about to come online in Meadow Lake, Sask. The Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC)’s new Bioenergy Centre, which will be operational by the end of February, will turn wood waste from the nearby NorSask Forest Products sawmill into electricity, powering around 5,000 homes in Saskatchewan and providing heat and power for a new continuous kiln.

From the thermal oil plant, the oil travels to the Organic Rankin Cycle building, which houses an Organic Rankin Cycle power generation system from Turboden. There, the hot thermal oil heats another oil called cyclopentane. That cyclopentane, when it gets to a certain temperature, turns gaseous. When it becomes gaseous, then it turns the turbine, which turns the generator that produces the energy.

COVID 19 Analysis

The arrival of the novel coronavirus has a significant and economic impact on the carbon nanotubes market share functioning. The financial and industrial market sectors like travel, tourism, aviation, production, and manufacturing were the worst affected. The IMF and the World Bank were expecting the worst recession during the period of 2019-2020. The extending lockdowns, halt of the market functioning followed by the stoppage of economic activities are likely to decline the global carbon nanotubes market demand.

However, the smooth functioning of the global demand and supply chain will help the market play a steady role in promising better growth aspects for the carbon nanotubes market during the forecast period of 2021-2030.

June 2022

In a microtechnology facility, a Vocus CI-TOF was used for monitoring two cleanrooms: ISO 6 and ISO 8. Air samples were taken from two different points in each cleanroom, to make a total of four sampling points. the concentration of acetone, acetic acid and cyclopentanone is depicted in four sampling points in two clean rooms.  In all sampling points, the acetone concentration was found to be constant, while cyclopentane highlighted a difference in concentration across cleanrooms: higher concentrations were found in cleanroom 1, consistent with its ISO 8 class.

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, cleanroom technology is increasingly being used to facilitate contamination control. Every day, contamination control measures are being undertaken, with COVID-19 making it even more important, given the rising need to safely store pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines. Therefore, the demand for cyclopentane has risen considerably in recent times.
