description: This paper details the scientific basis and potential of Hemp-Derived Carbon Nanosheets (HDCNS), introduces HDCNS composite materials, and introduces "Diamond Composites," a conceptual 100% hemp-derived material (HDCNS + Hemp Oil Epoxy + Hemp Lignin Resin) originated by the author, M. S. Landry [5]. Building upon the foundational work demonstrating HDCNS synthesis from hemp biomass and their high specific surface area for supercapacitor applications (e.g.,Wang, Mitlin et al., ACS Nano, 2013 [1]), we propose a theoretical framework extending their use to advanced composites [4]. Potential applications explored herein include defense (lightweight armor, stealth), aerospace (structures, radiation shielding), energy storage, potentially quantum computing elements (HDCNS as qubits), waste sequestration capabilities (incorporating byproducts/processed waste), and materials for sustainable interplanetary colonization (ISRU). The core purpose of this document is to issue a call for collaborative, open-source experimental validation of these concepts. We present 54 specific, testable hypotheses organized into three tiers: Tier 1 (Foundational Validation), Tier 2 (Core Properties & Benchmarks), and Tier 3 (Advanced/Exploratory). These hypotheses cover material synthesis, mechanical, thermal, electrical, barrier, and environmental properties, military/armor/stealth characteristics, biological interactions, comparative performance benchmarks, processability, and ISRU potential. For each hypothesis, significantly detailed experimental approaches, characterization techniques, and validation metrics are outlined. Relevant theoretical background, including predictive models (e.g., Rule of Mixtures, Halpin-Tsai), is provided. This document invites the global scientific community—research institutions, universities,industry labs, and citizen scientists—to participate in generating the crucial foundational empirical data needed to assess the viability of these proposed sustainable materials. Submission guidelines and contact information (feedback@marielandryceo.com) are provided to foster this collaborative effort. The core original concepts presented by M. S. Landry are detailed in the cited Zenodo preprints [4, 5] and potentially forthcoming publications.
