<p>A structural support includes a cylindrical core, an inner layer within the core and an outer layer. The inner and outer layers include CNT-infused fiber materials in a thermoset matrix. A composite includes a thermoset matrix and a CNT-infused fiber material having CNTs with lengths between about 20 to about 500 microns or about 0.1 to about 15 microns. For the latter range, CNTs are present between about 0.1 to about 5 percent by weight of the composite. A method of making a structural support includes wet winding a first CNT-infused fiber about a cylindrical mandrel in a direction substantially parallel to the mandrel axis, wet winding a baseline layer about the first CNT-infused fiber at an angle substantially non-parallel to the mandrel axis, and wet winding a second CNT- infused fiber about the baseline layer in a direction substantially parallel to the mandrel axis.</p>
