Chapter Five

Costs of Manufacturing

Abstract

This chapter describes in detail the costs of the production of graphitic nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, and graphene oxide. A comprehensive explanation of cost factors with calculations is concluded with a summary table of cost per Kg-product. Detailed calculations are provided. The chapter concludes with a section on the cost addition if GO was exfoliated to graphene by ultrasonics or supercritical Carbon Dioxide.
