This would be an interesting experiment to say the least. I'd imagine the cost would be much higher than the woven polypropylene cones from SEAS, not to mention the techniques required to fabricate the cone and type of adhesives needed for surround attachment, etc. Also have to consider if the acoustic properties would be compatible with the desired tweeter, i.e. RAAL.
It would, in theory, be an ideal material: Lightweight with high rigidity. I am currently working on the highest visibility project at my company which involves Carbon fiber parts. The fabrication processes are proprietary and super hush hush.
