Nanofiber vs. Nanotube & Difference in Chemical Bonding

I'd like to speak w/someone on this subject regarding bonding adherence & expectations w/these two structures.I get the theory but lack the chemistry background to know if what I'd like to produce is possible. Looking @ manufacture & possible patents in light weight PPD. I've been told that what I envision is possible, but not sure how to proceed w/out great expense @ the start. Hate to just throw money @ an idea if I don't know if it really has merit. Have looked far & wide for answers and have been either misunderstood or I've been asked to pay a substantial fee for "tutoring". Any real comments or direction would be greatly appreciated. Am located in Mpls area of USA.

Thanks,

Steve
