    I need a pair of jeans made out of this, or a nice shirt. Maybe work gloves? When will this hit the open market?

      I need rolls of cloth from it like you can get fiberglass, kevlar/aramid, and carbon fiber.

      I do wonder about it’s strength to weight ratio though.

      Like, it’s 6x stronger than aramid fiber but if it’s 6x heavier then it doesn’t really help. Also how’s it compare to carbon fiber?
