DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the concept of ‘hierarchal’ reactio
 ns at the surface of formed carbon nanostructures as these reactions have 
 been found not to obey a single mechanism. A large number of processes may
  occur\, which are characterised by different relaxation times\; long-live
 d states including defects and dislocations\, and layer formation\, that h
 ave been directly observed in our non-equilibrium carbon systems. Most rec
 ently\, our chemically synthesised graphene sheets have provided a model s
 ystem\, which represents both locally high quality graphene and disorder o
 ver large scales. As such we have been able to directly employ the graphen
 e material for electron spin resonance and muon spectroscopy studies to de
 tail the nature of the defects present and their interaction with hydrogen
 .
