16. Due to the interaction with the substrate and the resulting cross-sectional deformation of nanotubes, the actual nanotube diameter and consequently the actual flexural rigidity could be somewhat larger than their apparent height in AFM images suggests. Cross-sectional deformations, however, are more likely to occur for tubes with fewer shells, i.e., comparatively small flexural rigidity. This compensates the former effect to some degree and is discussed in more detail in ref 17.
