"Near term applications and associated companies based on carbon nanotube technology worth looking out for include:

• Non-volatile memory (Nantero)
• Field emission displays (Motorola, Samsung)
• Sensors and Actuators (Nanomix, Nano-Proprietary)
• Thermal management (Fujitsu, Nanoconduction)
• IC Interconnect (Fujitsu, Infineon)
• Scanning probe microscopes (Xidex)
• Random number generator (El-Mul)
• General CNT functionalization (Nanocyl)
• Logic Devices (Unidym, NEC, Intel, Aneeve, IBM)

According to NanoMarkets, carbon nanotubes will create $3.6 billion in new business for the electronics and semiconductor sectors by 2009."
