I mean, you and your like minded friends act as if I couldn't
call up Bayer and buy all the carbon nanotubes I wanted

Actually, I'm not sure you can. Google search of "bayer carbon
nanotubes" gives top search results of 2013 and 2014 articles on the
subject with these titles:

Bayer MaterialScience shuts down carbon nanotubes project ...

Bayer offloads its carbon nanotube and graphene patents to ...

Bayer Exits Highly Hyped Carbon Nanotubes Business

Carbon nanotubes not commercially viable for Bayer - Chemistry World

Bayer Divests Itself From Patents For Carbon Nanotubes And Graphene

Bayer MaterialScience exits carbon nanotube business

Bayer selling carbon nanotube intellectual property to FutureCarbon

Bayer MaterialScience brings Production of Carbon Nanotubes to a Halt



So Mook, do you have a cite which says Bayer is still in the business of
selling "all the carbon nanotubes" any customer wants?

In 2007 Bayer had the ability to ship 60 metric tons per year.
By 2011 when they exited the market due to stiff Chinese competition,
they sold out to their largest buyer, total demand was over 3100
metric tons per year. Today over 3,500 metric tons per year is being
purchased throughout the world.

It's not 2007. So, now you are telling us that you are basing your
arguments on data nearly a decade old!?!?

Today you can buy from any number of suppliers - mostly Chinese
though. Sigma Aldrich offers CNTs to anyone who wants them today.

You're the one who made the assertion you could buy all the carbon
nanotubes you wanted from Bayer. You were wrong. Bayer dumped carbon
nanotubes. They didn't pan out for them.

And you're the one insulting others in this group saying we don't know
what we're talking about. LOL.
