Figure 6

A comprehensive correlation between CNF alignment and mechanical properties. (a) List of samples with one-letter codes used to identify samples in the plots. Hermans orientation parameter for (004) reflection correlated to (b) yield strength, (c) stiffness and (d) modulus of toughness for the fibers spun with different lengths and inner diameters of extrusion capillaries, and at high and low flow rates, and with different concentrations of CNF dispersion. Numeric values are listed in in Supplementary Table 4. Corresponding plots for ultimate strain, ultimate tensile strength and slope of the stress-strain curve after the yield point are in Supplementary Fig. S9.
