“Potential and prospective implementation of carbon nanotubes on next-generation aircraft and space vehicles: A review of current and expected applications in aerospace sciences” is a lab report written by doctors Maialen Chapartegui, Omid Gohardani, and Cristina Elizetxea. The first key element is the title, and a label should be informative enough to enable readers to decide whether the report interests them (Markel, Selber, n.d).for; this article is exceptionally long, but it is clearly implemented as Carbon nanotubes being used for future aircraft and space vehicles. The next element is the abstract which summarizes the entire report, mirroring its structure: introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion. “This article provides the very first consolidated review of the imminent prospects of utilizing carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles in aerospace sciences, based on their recent implementations and predicted future applications. Explicitly, expected carbon nanotube employment in aeronautics and astronautics are identified for commercial aircraft, military aircraft, rotorcraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, satellites, and space launch vehicles. ……. This study further sheds light on recent actualized implementations of carbon nanotubes in aerospace applications, as well as current and prospective challenges related to their usage in aerospace sciences, encompassing health and safety hazards, large-scale manufacturing, achievement of optimum properties, recycling, and environmental impacts.[1]”

The second key element is the introduction, which section of the report in which you begin to establish that your work is essential (Markel, Selber, n.d). This introduces the concept of CNT and why it was a binding force. “He is interested in applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) since their scientific introduction progressively increased due to the superior features that these materials exhibit.” [1], the third key elements are the materials and methods section (sometimes called equipment and methods) is to convince your readers that your approach was appropriate for the question you hoped to answer, that you conducted your research or experiment carefully, and that your results are credible (Markel, Selber, n.d). In this article, the materials and methods section is shown through A brief introduction to CNTs to Challenges related to CNT implementation in aerospace applications. The fourth key element is results which present the evidence you will use to support the claims you will make in your discussion. How persuasive this evidence depends on how successfully you present it to your readers (Markel, Selber, n.d). The result is hard to find for this article because it is a working processor, but there is a lot of chart and example of possible future outcomes based on the materials and methods section.

The fifth key element is the discussion section is where you interpret your results: that is, you answer the question or support (or argue against) the hypothesis you discussed in your introduction (Markel, Selber, n.d). There are two sections in this article where they explain the benefit of CNT and another section where they talk about the outlook of CNT. the sixth key element is the conclusion is your final opportunity to persuade your audience of the significance of your work. Do not introduce any new information or analysis in this section (Markel, Selber, n.d). “It is recognized that new concepts in nanotechnology will facilitate this implementation procedure despite current existing scientific challenges.” [1] shown that the research is still in development but concludes today’s achievements with this study. The seventh element is the references and the Acknowledgement which you cited in your lab report and If you received assistance from colleagues during the study or while preparing the lab report, identify and thank these people in an acknowledgments section. (Markel, Selber, n.d). In this report, they use a total of 365 references, and “Any opinions, findings, and conclusions expressed in this journal article are those of the authors only and do not necessarily reflect the corporate views of any organization(s) affiliated with the authors. Furthermore, the authors are not aware of any affiliations, memberships, funding, or financial holdings that might be perceived as affecting the objectivity of this study. Dr. Omid Gohardani gratefully acknowledges Prof. Max Platzer, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, USA, for an invitation and insightful suggestions related to this article.” [1] showing the research that was done.

The last element is an appendix, which follows the references, is the appropriate place for information that readers do not need to understand the body of your lab report. This wasn’t provided because there was a lot of explanation of the formula, Graphs’ pictures, and table, so it was very clear.
