Fig. 1. (A) SEM image of aligned carbon nanofibers. (B) Combined epifluorescence (λex = 390 nm) and bright field images (×100 magnification) of carbon nanofibers. (C) Length distribution of nanofibers collected from bright field imaging, n = 1250. Inset – persistence length, n = 750. (D) and (E) AFM height images of carbon fibers dried in air. (F) Comparison of the diameter of carbon nanofibers derived from AFM (purple) and SEM (green) data.
