Global Graphene Infused Packaging Market Overview
Graphene, composed of carbon atoms bonded in one plane as a honeycomb lattice, reigns supreme in its electrical, thermal, and mechanical characteristics compared to almost any other material in existence. The 2-dimenional structure of graphene provides it the potential to overcome some of the inherent limitations of other advanced materials like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to integrate into practical applications. Several researchers have studied the intrinsic properties of graphene, i.e., for a suspended atomic monolayer – a peculiar manifestation where no other 3D materials exist. In this form, graphene has demonstrated an array of properties that surpass those of currently used materials. Graphene also possesses some unique optical properties. It does not have a band gap and therefore can absorb radiation extending all the way into the THz range. Electronic packaging applications, among others, are particularly positioned to benefit from the utilization of graphene as they often rely on a combination of properties (such as thermal, electrical, and mechanical). Graphene can be produced using two approaches. Top-down approaches typically use graphite as the starting material and “exfoliate” it to yield graphene. These processes are capable of producing large quantities of high-quality graphene in flake or powder form. On the other hand, bottom-up approaches create layer by layer of graphene from a carbon source; these are slower but yield continuous large area, single or multi-layer sheets.

Growth Drivers & Challenges
Graphene consists of some specific features such as superior electrical properties of graphene for instance high mobility (~20m2 / Vs), high current density (~108 A/cm2), ballistic transport, and low electrical resistivity that makes it an attractive choice for next generation electronics packaging. From a stand-point of mechanical properties, graphene films possess an elastic modulus of ~1TPa and high intrinsic strength (~30GPa), when combined with its low density, making graphene much lighter, stronger and harder than steel at similar dimensions which makes graphene infused packaging an interesting choice for industry manufacturers. With the strength and stiffness of graphene they can be utilized even as atomically thin sheets thereby allowing remarkable mechanical strength to be combined with geometric flexibility which is expected to contribute significantly in the graphene infused packaging market. Graphene fillers in an organic (polymeric) matrix are deployed for applications such as conductive inks, thermal interface materials (TIMs), barrier layers, shielding layers, encapsulants, and electrically conductive adhesives along with providing moisture resistance to the graphene packaged products that is expected to drive the graphene infused packaging market sturdily across the globe. Utilization of graphene infused packaging rely on a combination of properties, such as thermal, electrical, and mechanical on account of which graphene-based materials, therefore, can provide a significant leap forward in the performance and reliability of electronic devices and systems.
However, research and developmental activities ongoing regarding graphene infused packaging has not been proven on a large scale and is at its initial stages which is anticipated create doubt on the manufacturers population in its adoption that is estimated to serve as the major factor in restraining the robust growth of graphene infused packaging market during the forecast period.
