Only really good for insulation I suspect....
I've heard of aerogel before, but adding carbon just makes it better!

 I suspect it won't be good chassis material
Aerogel is spectacular stuff.

Not unless there's been some leap forward in manufacturing them at realistic levels since I last looked, or any great increase on data about
them being used as composite matrix filler

All it needs is the Henry Bessemer of the carbon world though, and we're sorted. The material itself is fairly common (apparently) it's
only the fact that at the moment it takes some really clever geek with a microscope supergluing the atoms together that costs money.

It's very easy to make large amounts of short ones quite quickly, it's very hard to identify how to put them to good use or make long
ones.
