At an average annual growth of about 6% for the next 5 years, propylene demand is expected to grow faster than supply. This brings about an increasing interest and need to find or develop alternative sources of propylene without adversely affecting ethylene availability. Although PP will remain the principal propylene derivative and the driver of propylene demand, other derivative technology developments may also influence propylene demand. Read inPropylene is expected to grow at 3.5% between 2005-2010 mainly due to 7% growth of PP

Graphene sheet is a thin film of carbon that is just one atom thick embedded in a polymer matrix, and can be more economical and cost effective than carbon nanotubes for plastic composites. The composite, which conducts electricity, could be used to make new types of microelectronic devices and circuits, and can find use in aircraft and coatings. Read in Graphene sheet can be more economical than carbon nanotube for plastic composites
