Paper instructions:
Please explain your answer. This is an extra credit assignment so you can utilize any reference as long as you provide full citation information (Author, Article Title, Journal, Year, Volume, Pages w/ URL information, if available).

Basically, (literature) research whether or not carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be electrospun. The specific sub-topics you will need to mention are: (1) Why was a non-soluble CNT utilized and electrospun (for the example you found)? (2) What was the before and after electrospun morphologies for the particular example you found (provide descriptions with microscope images)? (3) How was the CNT experimentally electrospun (provide how the CNT was prepared as a dispersed liquid mixture and then electrospun)? (4) What was its biomaterials or biological usage after electrospinning (e.g. utilization for nerve gap injury recovery, in vitro cell culture substrate development)?

Hint:Size, density, crystallinity, and surface chemistries (yellow remarks in Figure 1) will need to be, first, considered and then combined with electrospinning methodologies to appropriately provide the answers.
