Individual Coiling Dynamics Are Fiber Curvature Dependent

(A) Representative coiling profiles show fiber diameter-dependent dynamics of coiling.

(B and C) (B) Maximum coil width and (C) average coil growth rate increase as a function of protrusive fiber diameter in a non-linear manner.

(D) A biphasic relationship is observed between the time to maximum width and protrusive fiber diameter. In the case of all three parameters (maximum coil width, coil growth rate, and time to maximum width), n values are as follows: 135 nm, 117; 270 nm, 75; 450 nm, 113; 600 nm, 111; 1,000 nm, 77.
