I'm testing to see which brand of paper towel is the most absorbant, and the strongest. My reasearch paper has to correspond to my experiment, but I'm haveing trouble finding a topic to do my paper on. Can some one please help?

You could divide your paper into many sections.
start off with the history and invention of paper towels and its uses/ introduction and purpose of your experiment.
Next give description about its composition/ what it is made of.
Next choose a few well known brands. Maybe you could also stick a few samples on the page.
Next give a list of all the tests you are going to perform on them.
Then give the results.
End woth conclusion.

Not only try different types of paper towels, but also different items and how long before they fall through. Try an apple. Try a marble. Etc. Things of different size and weight. That should give you the strongest.
For the most absorbant, make sure you measure exactly the liquid, the same liquid, for each towel to absorb and how long that takes. I would lay the towel on the liquid not wipe it up.
Then to finish it off, also compare the price per sheet.
Then you have three things you are evaluating - cost, effectiveness/aborbancy, and durability.

Try finding a way to put your experiment into words.....ie..the absorption of certain material and fibers....check to find the differences out between the paper towel....in the way they are made, what they are made up of,,,,, Will certain towels clean up certain liquids better than others???? How about pores in the towels to trap the liquid?

"Paper Towel Strength and Absorbancy"
"Which Will You Buy?"
"Do You Know Your Paper Towels?"

If you begin by looking into what paper is made from you will find that you need to look up what paper pulp is and how it is made. You should also look up how do the parts of the plant pulp (they are like the veins of a plant) create capillary action( its like a straw that can suck up soda. Find out if different plant pulp has different capillaries that can produce different capillary actions.
