Imaging Fibers by Atomic-Force Microscopy
Glass textile fibers have been used to demonstrate an atomic force microscope technique presented in this article. This method can be applied for imaging the surface of any micron or larger sized fibers. The fibers are discovered to have a variable corrugated surface texture, rather than the previously supposed uniformly cylindrical form, with individual ridges about 5-10 nm high. Scanning electron microscopy images of equivalent glass fibers are included for comparison.
