Chemist? Materials scientist?

Yes, this is a weird question to be posting here - but does anyone know anyone who works in either of the above fields? I need a consult on an idea and my college chemistry only let's me work my way so far towards an answer.

Ideally, I need someone reasonably familiar with epoxy, resin and catalyst-induced monomer to polymer conversion.

Oh, and a working knowledge of chemically neutral filaments/strands like carbon monofilament or fullerenes would help.

Yah, I'm in over my head.

I think Orf is your man. He grew laser crystals in his academic life.
