Figure 9
(a) FESEM image of fibrillar Ac-NFGAIL morphology (Lakshmanan et al., 2013). (b) Raster-scan image of fibrillar morphology obtained with a 200 nm X-ray beam. The inset shows a single WAXS pattern from the position of the rectangle in (b). The fibre axis is indicated by an arrow. [Adapted from Lakshmanan et al. (2013).] (c) SEM image of hollow Ac-KLVFFAE residue glued to a glass capillary (Lakshmanan et al., 2013). (d) Raster-scan image of bulk residue revealing two domains with homogeneous fibre orientation (arrow) in each domain defined by the orientation of the 0.47 nm β-sheet peak. (e) Raster-scan of residue glued to the capillary (contours indicated) with oriented patterns from the pinning zone at the hole [see also (c)]. (f) Oriented pattern with two principal reciprocal lattice lines at an angle of ∼60°. The first and second (weak) cross-β peaks are indicated. [Adapted from Lakshmanan et al. (2013).] |
