Nanotech Magazine – Issue #88 (October 2026)
Nanotech Magazine is published by Future Markets and focuses on developments in nanotechnology and advanced materials.
This issue’s flagship feature looks at the global carbon nanotubes market. Electrification has taken the material from decades of laboratory promise to an essential industrial input. The feature also covers carbon nanotube, nanomedicine, coatings, energy and quantum dot news from the third quarter of 2026.
Carbon Nanotubes Market Focus includes:
- The commercial landscape across multi-walled, single-walled, few-walled, double-walled and vertically aligned nanotubes, and why each segment has very different economics
- Lithium-ion batteries as the demand engine, including conductive additives, high-nickel cathodes, silicon-rich anodes, and solid-state and lithium–sulfur chemistries
- Demand forecasts by volume to 2037, with energy storage and polymer composites as the two largest markets
- Applications beyond batteries:
- Conductive and EMI-shielding plastics, elastomers and aerospace composites
- Thermal-interface materials for AI and data-centre cooling
- Self-sensing “smart” concrete, conductive inks, membranes and sensors
- Post-silicon transistors, NRAM memory, transparent conductors and quantum computing
- The supply side, covering China’s dominant powder production, South Korea’s battery-integrated producers and Western conductive-additive portfolios
- Single-walled nanotubes: a highly concentrated segment, new capacity in Europe, North America and India, and the push for second sources
- Production routes from fluidised-bed and floating-catalyst CVD to methane pyrolysis with hydrogen co-production and CO₂ electrolysis
- Persistent barriers: dispersion, batch consistency, chirality control, safety perception and the nanomaterials regulatory framework
- The outlook to 2037, including demand diversification, sustainability as a differentiator and the shift towards regional supply chains
- An indicative production capacity table for ten leading producers
Also in this issue:
- Carbon nanotube news, including single-wall nanotubes for next-generation battery anodes, nanotube quantum chips and new nanotube capacity in India
- Nanomedicine developments, including gold nanorod cancer therapy, a once-weekly GLP-1 patch, chronic wound dressings and rapid diagnostics
- Europe’s largest planned bacterial nanocellulose plant, aimed at replacing fossil-based polymers and microplastics
- Ultra-low-iridium electrodes for hydrogen electrolysis, and battery-metal recovery from recycling sources
- Graphene-based water treatment, automotive and defence nanocoatings, nano-optic lenses and consumer nano-protective coatings
- Nanostructured materials for the space sector and a European nanotechnology business mission to Japan
- Quantum dot news, including lead-free infrared-sensing materials, manufacturing expansion in the US and quantum dot point-of-care diagnostics
