Carbonized Micro- and Nanostructures: Can Downsizing Really Help?

In this manuscript, we discuss relationships between morphology and mechanical strength of carbonized structures, obtained via pyrolysis of polymeric precursors, across multiple length scales, from carbon fibers (CFs) with diameters of 5–10 µm to submicron thick carbon nanofibers (CNFs). Our researc...
