Buckypaper: the end of iron ore?

Re: Buckypaper. The end of Iron ore?

This sort of stuff is the biotech of the mineral world.

Interesting but it looks a few years off yet.
 
Yeah, once they get the price down from a gazillion dollars a tonne to match the latest iron ore contracts, watch out BHPB, FMG, RIO, Vale, etc. you're gooooooonnnnnnnneeeeee

watch the Castle mate.

Your dreamin.

How would you invest in something like this? I'm not willing to throw money just yet but if there was a company actually producing carbon nanotubes / related materials and selling them to companies that make money by putting them into products then I would be interested.
 
I'll be certainly look to buy into their IPO (if there is one). Even if its a complete dud or a pipe dream there's gonna be a whole heap of momentum to catch (not to mention stag profits).

I`m scared man.
 
The question is how easy are nanotubes to make in large quantities ?
What does it replace ? It what situations does any additional performance benefit justify any increased cost or increased manufacturing costs for the finished product ? Is buckypaper easier to construct things with compared to pressed metal products or labour intensive composites ?

I might have to read up on the nanotube manufacturing process.
