(a) Representative atomic force microscopy (AFM) image of a nanotube suspended over the hole of an alumina membrane for the individual mechanical bending modulus measurements. (b) Representative deformation profile of a suspended carbon nanotube and (c) deflection vs. loading force derived from the deformation profile. The slope is proportional to the bending modulus of the carbon nanotubes.
