well, i suppose, but stacks of graphene are very distinct from a sheet that’s rolled up. doesn’t have the morphological property that’s the most relevant for eg tensile strength or eg electrical properties shared with graphene and nanotubes. just my thinking
present day carbon fiber composites can achieve this, So I’m assuming you’re talking about the shortfalls of existing macroscopic performance of pure nano based composites, on which I don’t dispute you, I just think that breakthroughs may be possible

They certainly cannot or those titanium parts would not be flying (you might have stiffness-dominated aluminum parts not yet replaced with a chopped fiber composites). Composite *laminate* structures are ill-equipped for intricate geometries with many fastener locations.

You run into some hard fundamental problems if you want purely nano-reinforced composites. How do you get 60% loading, or even half of that into your resin given the huge jumps in viscosity from the massive surface area?
