Carbon nanotubes are made of the same material as the graphite found in pencils, a material soft enough to leave an image on

strength?
They are extremely elastic.
They are a mass of ionic carbon to carbon bonds.
They are created using high pressure then super-heated.
They are composed of unbroken chains of covalent carbon to carbon
bonds.
