Figure 4

(a) Raman intensity ratio for polarization parallel and perpendicular to the fibre axis as a function of wt.% of RGOF in the carbon nanomaterial. (b) Diffraction intensities at Q=1.4 Å−1 (a scattering wave vector corresponding to the diffraction from PVA chains) versus fibre orientation angle for hybrid fibres containing equal wt.% SWNTs and RGOFs before (red line) and after (blue line) tensile tests. Error bars in a represent the minimum and maximum values obtained from five independent experiments.
