“…The atomic force microscope (AFM) has been the most predominantly used tool for mechanical characterization of nanoscale materials. Three-point bending tests [14][15][16], nanoindentationbased experiments [17], AFM-based cantilever bending experiments [18][19][20], resonance experiments [21,22] and custom designed tensile testing fixtures [23] have been used by researchers to study the mechanical properties of polymer nanofibres. Kjelstrup-Hansen et al [16] performed threepoint bending experiments on para-hexaphenylene polymer nanowires and were also able to manipulate the nanowire with the AFM and measure rupture shear stress.…”

We present experimental results on the characterization of the mechanical properties of pyrolysed poly-furfuryl alcohol (PFA) nanofibres. Specifically, Young’s modulus and the fracture strain of the nanofibres were measured by performing uni-axial tensile experiments on individual nanofibres in situ in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) using a microfabricated tensile testing device. The nanofibres tested varied in diameter from 150 to 300 nm. Young’s modulus is observed to be within the 1.3–2 GPa range.
