I pointed to a pitch fiber, but PAN has higher transverse tensile strength (both far less than along length). You wouldn't gain anything though since the diameters are below critical length at current strengths and won't tear. But back to original prompt:https://mobile.twitter.com/mchapiro/status/1277063044133203969 …
good question. i'm not sure how far you can push the conventional tech of a really thin (maybe even UV curable) resin or very high pressure autoclave. might only be suitable for smaller components. how much does viscosity (effective viscosity?) really increase? 10x? 100x? 1000x?

Here's an example with carbon nanofibers, which are quite a bit bigger than carbon nanotubes. Nanotubes are loaded on the order of 1% and get you a slightly stronger plastic. When you go too far past this strength will drop because you'll have large agglomerated, unwet regions.pic.twitter.com/llmK47kZeB
