Claim 24:
25. A manufacturing process for forming a container having a monolithic structure of uniform reflectivity without encapsulation of a forming surface wherein forming said container includes the following steps:
blending together carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofiber and a resin hardener under suitable conditions to form a cured conductive slurry;
applying said curing conductive slurry to a shaped forming surface wherein said shaped forming surface is of a shape corresponding to a parabolic reflecting surface;
allowing said curing conductive slurry to harden; and
separating said container from said shaped forming surface without encapsulating a support structure for operation as a container of uniform reflectivity without encapsulation of said forming surface, wherein said carbon nanofibers became oriented with said carbon nanotubes to form an organized matrix, wherein said monolithic
structure is comprised of several concentrically interlinked carbon nanotubes, and wherein said container is formed to be substantially rigid and fixed into place as a mirror image of said shaped forming surface, and wherein said conductive slurry hardens to form said monolithic structure of uniform reflectivity.
