Atomic force microscopy image of aligned nanofibrils of a highly conducting plastic

Caption: Atomic force microscopy image of aligned nanofibrils of a highly conducting plastic. Each nanofibril is made of stacks of regioregular polythiophene (RRP) molecules. Charge carriers move particularly well along the length of RRP molecules, perpendicular to the rows of nanofibrils.
