What you are asking for is worth a lot of money. Providing that is what I do for a living, and a good one I might add. Generally, chopped carbon fibers is the hot growth area for use in antistatics. I have seen the guitars and violins etc, from carbon fiber composites but the pricing will keep that market small.

Some future uses that can be a result of lowering the prices are things such as hybrid plywood with carbon fibers, infrastructure in bridge column wraps, etc, automotive structure, etc. However, all of these compete directly with glass fiber which is a lot cheaper and I personnally don't believe carbon fiber will get a large market share. Its like anything, the more expensive items don't get the big piece of the pie.

Regards

Jake
