Executive Summary
Graphene, referred as a wonder material, possesses an unparalleled combination of electrical, thermal, and optical properties.It is single atom thick but is stronger than steel and tougher than diamond.
These qualities of graphene have enabled a myriad of applications from lightweight products to high capacity batteries and stronger materials. Graphene was invented way back in 2004 and, since then, many academic and commercial groups have begun researching on the potential application of the material across various end users.
The most notable property of graphene-enhanced composites is their fracture toughness which makes them an important material for engineering applications.The combination of graphene with various matrices is so strong that it not only reinforces the matrix but also introduces new mechanical and electronic properties to the material.
Graphene is frequently reinforced with polymers such as thermoplastics and epoxies, among others.
Graphene-enhanced composites have started to mark their presence in the commercial market.However, the growth has been rather slow.
Over the years, it has been observed that any new material takes years of research and development to attain the mainstream adoption.There are challenges with the mass production of graphene which are acting as hindrance for the growth of the market.
Graphene-enhanced composites are expected to be fully commercialized in the next five years, provided a mass production method is devised by the key players operating in the market.
Graphene-enhanced polymer composite, metal composite, and ceramic composite are some of the graphene-enhanced composites widely used in the end user industries.As a consequence of the extensive application of graphene-enhanced polymer composites across various domains and verticals, such as aerospace & defense and automotive, among others, it is the most commonly used composites in the graphene-enhanced composites market.
