CN suspension Diameter (nm)Length (nm)Aspect ratio ()

SS17.6 ± 3.4216 ± 12233 ± 26
SS211.5 ± 4.2131 ± 8913 ± 10
SS39.2 ± 2.6237 ± 10126 ± 11
SS49.3 ± 2.9159 ± 8619 ± 12

Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Different letters, a, b, and c, in the same column indicate significant differences () among the samples.
