Answer 1

My EQ is : What is most important to consider when trying to create carbon nanotubes?

1) The most important thing to take into account when creating nanotubes would be the graphene that is being used.  The graphene must be solid and with little defects.  In order to assure that the graphene is suitable, the process in which it is created  must be greatly dependable.

2) i. Carbon Vapor Desposition: From my interview with my service learning contact I learned that the temperature in this process can either make or break the graphene.
ii. Amount of other chemical in Chemical Vapor Desposition: I believe Hydrogen is the chemical that My service contact was using.  If too much hydrogen is used in the process then it evaporates the carbon.  If there is too little then the carbon doesn't form at all.  It takes a certain amount, depending on the host or amount of carbon to get the graphene to form.

3) My sources are my service learning contact, via Interview 2, and this article that my contact sent me to get a better understanding of the process.

Note: This will be heavily changed within the next week.  I haven't had the chance to meet with my contact so I am planning to speak with him and go over my knowledge of the topic.
